BlinkRx Launches "Operation Access Now" to Accelerate and Scale Direct‑to‑Patient and Direct‑to‑Business Programs
Operation Access Now enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to launch direct‑to‑patient programs within 21 days NEW YORK, August 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BlinkRx, the nation's leading prescription lifecycle management platform, today announced the launch of Operation Access Now, a rapid deployment initiative that enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to build and launch direct-to-patient (DTP) and direct‑to‑business (DTB) channels that expand medication access and deliver pricing transparency in as little as 21 days. This program comes at a moment of growing urgency across the life sciences industry. As traditional access models struggle to meet patient and provider expectations, leading brands are turning to faster, more scalable approaches. BlinkRx's national infrastructure already supports millions of patients across all 50 states. The platform's patient-centric design removes every barrier for patients to start and stay on therapy and delivers significant lift for brands: on average, 52% more patient starts and 41% more fills per patient. With Operation Access Now, the initiative enables: Rapid Stand‑Up: DTP programs that can be operational in as little as 21 days, thanks to BlinkRx's turnkey platform and flexible rules engine. Future-Proof: A modular platform that allows pharmaceutical manufacturers to start with a DTP solution and expand into future capabilities as needs and regulations change. For example, the platform can be deployed for DTB models, and can service both cashpay and insurance patients. Scale: Unique automation capabilities that enable pharmaceutical manufacturers to effortlessly scale based on patient demand and adoption. Legacy DTP solutions, such as copay cards and standalone cash pharmacies, are often costly, inefficient, and prone to patient and physician frustration- causing delays in access, misuse, and poor experiences. BlinkRx's platform addresses these ecosystem issues while ensuring strict regulatory compliance. "Operation Access Now is about removing every barrier between manufacturers and the patients who need their therapies," said Geoffrey Chaiken, Co‑Founder and CEO of BlinkRx. "We're prepared to enable manufacturers to deploy DTP programs and deliver the speed, scale, and flexibility the market demands." About BlinkRx BlinkRx is a Prescription Lifecycle Management Platform that allows the most innovative Life Sciences companies to design every aspect of the prescription journey to unlock branded medication affordability and access for all Americans.

DoseSpot Collaborates with Amazon Pharmacy to Improve Prescription Medication Pricing Transparency, Give Patients More Fulfillment Options
Companies share a commitment to helping patients get the medications they need quickly, affordably, and with price transparency DoseSpot Collaborates with Amazon Pharmacy BOSTON, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DoseSpot, which delivers best-in-class e-prescribing, insurance verification and revenue cycle management solutions to more than 250,000 users weekly, today announced its collaboration with Amazon Pharmacy, a full-service, online pharmacy, to provide additional cost savings, expand medication access, and offer faster delivery options for DoseSpot users. ePrescribing software often fails to reliably display medication availability and affordability information at the point of prescribing. DoseSpot's software has more than 100 million annual patient encounters and enables physicians to see availability, pricing, and delivery options across pharmacies to help patients choose the option that is right for them. DoseSpot also verifies insurance eligibility and helps surface medication savings and manufacturers' programs to help patients lower their medication costs even more. "Often, patients are on autopilot when it comes to pharmacies, not realizing that their usual pharmacy may not be the most convenient, have the best pricing, or availability," said Josh Weiner, CEO of DoseSpot. "DoseSpot is focused on providing transparency to patients, and our direct connection with Amazon Pharmacy gives patients a home delivery option they may not have considered previously. We're thrilled to be collaborating with Amazon Pharmacy on this important program." "Amazon Pharmacy and DoseSpot share a commitment to make it easier for patients to access and afford the medications they need to get and stay healthy," said Tanvi Patel, VP and GM of Amazon Pharmacy. "We're proud to be part of this innovative approach that ensures price and inventory transparency, convenient delivery, and helps customers get their prescriptions filled reliably and faster, leading to better medication adherence.' A national survey found that 33 percent of Americans don't fill their prescriptions, and the top reason (30 percent) is cost. Other top reasons are the medication is out of stock (17 percent) or the patient can't get to the pharmacy (17 percent). Another survey found that pharmacy deserts are expanding rapidly, leaving 1 in 7 Americans without easy access to a pharmacy. By collaborating with pharmacies like Amazon Pharmacy, DoseSpot is helping to remove these barriers to care. How it Works Providers enter the patient's prescription into DoseSpot, with visibility to insurance details. DoseSpot presents local and home delivery pharmacy options including pricing, and details on available coupons and manufacturers' savings programs. Providers review those details with the patient and together they choose a fulfillment option. Provider submits the prescription to the pharmacy. The patient can receive a compliant SMS message through DoseSpot Pharmacy Select to confirm or select a different pharmacy if the original pharmacy or price is no longer the best option for them. The company's connection to Amazon Pharmacy is one of many such connections DoseSpot has established, and the first to include a delivery promise and medication inventory status in real-time. DoseSpot can send prescriptions to any pharmacy in the U.S. About DoseSpot DoseSpot delivers best-in-class e-prescribing, insurance verification and revenue cycle management solutions for healthcare providers, improving price transparency and outcomes for patients and reducing clinician and staff burnout. The company's comprehensive solutions strengthen connections among patients, prescribers, payers, pharmacies and health technology vendors - whether it's getting prescriptions into the hands of patients at a price they can afford or providing visibility into a patient's benefit plan. Hundreds of thousands of providers, health plans, pharmacies and health technology partners rely on DoseSpot and its subsidiary pVerify to facilitate tens of millions of healthcare transactions each year.
