FORT WORTH, TEXAS (August 30, 2004)
ProxyMed, Inc. (NASDAQ: PILL), a leading provider of healthcare transaction processing and medical cost containment services, and eRx Network, LLC, a premier U.S. pharmacy industry provider of a secure, reliable and performance-oriented network for e-commerce applications, today announced the addition of 4 new pharmacy chains to their joint electronic prescription network. eRx Network(TM) pharmacies now actively exchanging true electronic data interchange messages in production with ProxyMed‘s network of physicians include Publix, Navarro‘s, Shopko and Meijer. These chains represent a total of over 1644 store locations.
"Electronic prescribing is receiving considerable media attention right now," said Richard K. Brook, ProxyMed Vice President of Pharmacy Services. "In light of the government‘s drive for universal health records for all Americans within the next 10 years and the critical role that documented electronic prescriptions will play in those records, it‘s important to remember that the collaborative effort between ProxyMed and eRx is one of the few that have delivered real adoption and actual use of electronic prescriptions."
"We are very pleased with the growth we‘ve been able to attain working with ProxyMed," said Mark Lyle, President of eRx Network. "This system provides us with robust, fully functional physician connectivity which is key in gaining widespread adoption of electronic prescribing."
"As a customer of eRx Network, Meijer has been utilizing the e-prescribing connectivity services of ProxyMed and eRx for several months," said Mike Major, Vice President of Pharmacy Operations for Meijer. "During this time, we have seen tangible operational efficiencies in our stores as a result of this service and have received great customer feedback as a result of the decreased time required to refill a prescription."
