该计划扩大了PharmcoRx为患者提供补充健康保险福利的能力，以便在药房内购买非处方产品

MIAMI, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Progressive Care Inc. (OTCQB: RXMD) ('Progressive Care' or the 'Company'), a personalized healthcare services and technology provider, today announced that its PharmcoRx ('PharmcoRx') pharmacy subsidiary announced an agreement with ProHealth Connect LLC ('ProHealth Connect') aiming to extend over-the-counter product ('OTC') benefits provided by health insurance plans to qualifying members nationwide..

迈阿密，2023年12月14日/PRNewswire/--渐进式护理公司（OTCQB:RXMD）（“渐进式护理”或“公司”），一家个性化医疗服务和技术提供商，今天宣布，其PharmcoRx（“PharmcoRx”）药房子公司宣布与ProHealth Connect LLC（“ProHealth Connect”）达成协议，旨在将健康保险计划提供的非处方产品（“OTC”）福利扩展至全国合格会员。。

Through the partnership with ProHealth Connect, the OTC benefits offered by Medicare Advantage ('MA') plans such as United HealthCare, Humana, Devoted, Sharecare, Wellmed, Vitality, Wellcare FL GMS, Ultimate health, Wellcare, and more, enabling their members to purchase over-the-counter healthcare products and medicines using their plan benefits, are now accepted at all PharmcoRx pharmacies.

通过与ProHealth Connect的合作，Medicare Advantage（“MA”）计划提供的OTC福利，如United HealthCare、Humana、Idefect、Sharecare、Wellmed、Vitality、Wellcare FL GMS、Ultimate health、Wellcare等，使其成员能够使用其计划福利购买非处方保健产品和药物，现在所有PharmcoRx药店都接受。

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) estimates that in 2024, MA enrollment will rise from 31.6 million individuals in 2023 to 33.8 million, accounting for about 50% of all Medicare eligible. According to Statista, revenue in the OTC pharmaceuticals sector of the market will reach $39.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow annually by 3.53% (CAGR 2023-2028).

Providing benefits of up to $300 per month, OTC benefit programs were historically only available at large-scale retailers and pharmacy chains. Through Progressive Care's PharmcoRx agreement with ProHealth Connect and its earlier agreement with NationsBenefits, the Company is now able to serve the additional healthcare needs of potentially millions of Medicare Advantage network members in its communities who utilize their OTC benefits.

OTC福利计划每月提供高达300美元的福利，历史上只有大型零售商和连锁药店才能获得。通过ProHealth Connect与Progressive Care的PharmcoRx协议以及之前与NationsBenefits的协议，该公司现在能够满足社区中潜在数百万利用其OTC福利的Medicare Advantage网络成员的额外医疗保健需求。

Through its OTC agreements, PharmcoRx locations will be listed as participating pharmacies in the provider directories and will actively market the availability of the program to its existing customer base as well as those in its network of providers, clinics, Management Services Organizations ('MSOs'), Accountable Care Organizations ('ACOs') and Long-Term Care facilities..

通过其OTC协议，PharmcoRx地点将被列为提供商目录中的参与药店，并将积极向其现有客户群以及其提供商、诊所、管理服务组织（“MSO”）、责任护理组织（“ACO”）和长期护理机构网络中的客户群推销该计划的可用性。。

Dr. Pamela Roberts, Chief Operating Officer of Progressive Care Inc., said, 'We are thrilled to further expand the access to valuable OTC benefits for our pharmacy customers, enabling them to purchase their over-the-counter products and medications from us when they have their prescriptions filled. Through our participation in these valuable OTC benefit programs, we have the potential to expand awareness of PharmcoRx pharmacies and further serve the needs of millions of Medicare Advantage members as part of our ongoing commitment to community-centric services.'.

Progressive Care Inc.首席运营官帕梅拉·罗伯茨（PamelaRoberts）博士说，“我们很高兴能进一步扩大我们的药房客户获得有价值的非处方药福利的机会，使他们能够在填写处方后从我们那里购买非处方药和药物。通过参与这些有价值的OTC福利计划，我们有可能扩大对PharmcoRx药店的认识，并进一步满足数百万Medicare Advantage成员的需求，作为我们持续致力于以社区为中心的服务的一部分。”。

It furthers our mission of the democratization of the OTC/Grocery benefit, allowing local retailers to share in the millions of members and billions of dollars of benefits available to them.

ProHealth Connect LLC总裁安德鲁·维纳科（AndrewWinakor）补充道，“我们欢迎PharmcoRx药店加入独立零售商的ProHealth网络。它进一步推动了我们OTC/杂货福利民主化的使命，使当地零售商能够分享数百万会员和数十亿美元的福利。

Every dollar spent at a local independent retailer means twice as much money stays in the community. It's a win/win for every stakeholder involved; the member, the retailer, and the community at large.'.

在当地独立零售商花费的每一美元意味着留在社区的钱是原来的两倍。这是每个利益相关者的双赢；成员，零售商和整个社区。”。
