The Company

Greater Philadelphia Health Action, Inc. (GPHA) is a non-profit organization that has brought premier healthcare services including medical, dental, behavioral healthcare and pharmacy services to the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area since 1970.

With 12 locations throughout Philadelphia, GPHA is committed to delivering quality comprehensive healthcare offerings to all ages.

NuvemRx has a longstanding relationship with GPHA. NuvemRx’s Pharmacy Management Solution provides GPHA with on-site pharmacy services delivering quality care to their patient population and pharmacy program support in a one-stop shop approach.

Solutions

GPHA’s implementation of NuvemRx’s Pharmacy Management Solution gave patients access to important resources all in one place, saving them time and energy as medication pick-up could be completed soon after an appointment. The on-site pharmacy also provided prior authorization support for patients, giving health centers the necessary approval to deliver services to patients under their qualifying payment coverage.

Medication Management and Adherence

With NuvemRx’s Pharmacy Management services readily available to GPHA staff members, better medication management for patients became evident as clinical staff gained the ability to easily communicate with pharmacy staff. Medication adherence HEDIS measures also saw improvement with NuvemRx staff on-site to direct patients in proper medication handling and usage.

“My greatest lesson learned is that NuvemRx’s Advanced Referral Program is masterful at their implementation and personable in their approach; that referral program was the icing on the top, and as we grow our percentages in specialty scripts, it will potentially be the deal maker, the “gift that keeps on giving. Do it right away, I wouldn’t wait a minute - no reason to wait four months when you can make money right away.” 

Benefits

Through the savings associated with on-site pharmacy, GPHA has been able to provide programs and services including transportation and translation services to patients, greatly enhancing accessibility and breaking down common barriers to necessary healthcare services. Without the savings captured through the on-site pharmacy, many individuals may not have received the care crucial to their well-being.

The development of GPHA’s specialty pharmacy through NuvemRx also enabled proper care at the right time to HIV patients in their therapeutic journey. Specialty pharmacy staff were empowered to meet with patients during their visit to support medication compliance, instructing patients how to correctly and safely use medications to maximize their benefits.
