Description

The latest episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast dives into the functionalities and real-world impact of Rx Smart Save, a low-cost alternative program designed to reduce medication costs for both patients and plan sponsors. Jackie Lolos, PharmD, and Haleh (Halls) Campbell, PharmD, join Justin Venneri in the studio for a discussion highlighting the innovation and care behind this clinical program.

Jackie and Halls outline how the two levels of Rx Smart Save work, with Level 1 empowering members to independently switch to lower-cost, clinically equivalent medications via notifications on the Capital Rx app or web portal. Level 2 increases access with a proactive, high-touch approach, where a team of pharmacists and specialists assist members, prescribers, and pharmacies throughout the process. Halls also shares a quick case study demonstrating how one retiree saved $75 per prescription by switching from an injection-based migraine treatment to a tablet, and Jackie explains how modern technology aids the process..
