(2020, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality)
Medication non-adherence is costly. Overall MLR is disproportionately impacted by the top 5-10% of high-risk membership. When medications are packaged by dose date and time – not type – the percentage of patients who take their medications as directed increases from 30% to 96%, resulting in medical utilization cost savings from $8-12,000 annually. Increased adherence also lowers hospital readmission rates as 66% of hospital readmissions result from medication non-adherence (2018 Journal of American Geriatrics Society).
Medication adherence plays a major role in helping your plan improve overall Star Ratings, HEDIS® measures, and member experience. AdhereRx helps your high-risk, underserved members realize improved health and quality of life by helping them access needed care and achieve and maintain medication adherence. AdhereRx is fully integrated on the AdhereHealth™ Adhere Platform which enables health plans to seamlessly offer long-term pharmacy options to reduce adverse effects and costly hospital visits, resolve medication adherence and care gaps and achieve value-based care outcomes.
With diabetes, a chronic heart condition and hypertension, I didn't feel safe picking up my medications in person once COVID-19 began. My previous pharmacy said they couldn't offer delivery, but then I got a call from AdhereRx. Now, I am able to stay at home and keep myself on track with my meds.

After a scary hospitalization from diabetic ketoacidosis my doctor told me to stop using aspirin due to a GI bleed. I spoke to an AdhereRx pharmacist on my monthly review, who helped me understand the severity of taking my medications correctly and testing my blood sugar regularly. They also informed my provider of my recent hospitalization so I could focus on getting better.

I have 11 providers that have prescribed 17 medications for my diabetes, dementia, hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, COPD, and GERD. I enrolled in AdhereRx because they had a team of pharmacists that would help me manage and coordinate between my providers to make sure I don’t have any medication issues, and they have safe delivery directly to my doorstep.
