RxAmerica partners with Google on Google Health

By Andrew Redfern @ 20th May 2008 6:01 pm

RxAmerica, a leading pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), announced their participation as an integration partner in the new Google Health product. Google Health launched today at an event at Google. The product allows patients to gather their medical and prescription records from various providers and organize it in one secure place on the web to create a clear picture of their healthcare.

Google Health users own the data they download, allowing them to have access to their medical history even if they change jobs or benefit providers.

“Taking part in the launch of this product is important to us because it lets our members take charge of their health records,” said John Gardynik, president of RxAmerica. “Now they can give their healthcare providers a true snapshot of their medical history so they can facilitate the safest, most accurate care possible.”

Using the new integrated service, eligible RxAmerica members can securely import their prescription history into their Google Health accounts. RxAmerica’s Medicare Part D membership will be the only group participating in the initial Google service through the integration. Additional clients will be phased into the program based on product performance and associated call volume.

“Our customers are accustomed to receiving exceptional service from RxAmerica, and we want to ensure that their expectations are still met while supporting this innovative product,” said Mark SantaCroce, RxAmerica’s chief marketing officer. “We anticipate having all interested clients enrolled over the next several months.”

Google Health offers consumers the ability to store, manage and own their personal health information online in a safe and secure environment.

Google Health can be found on the web at http://www.google.com/health.
