2 Differences Between BetterRX and a PBM

Although PBMs aim to reduce medication costs for healthcare providers, CRX (or Connected RX Platform) was created to enhance the end-of-life journey for every patient. These first two distinctions demonstrate how CRX enhances patient care at every stage of the medication management process.

1. Patient profiling, at the click of a button, saves nurses valuable time

BetterRX: Nurses import new patients and their medications with a few clicks on their smartphones, saving valuable time. Medications are ready to order in seconds and without phone calls!

PBM: Nurses have to call both the PBM and the local pharmacy with new patient information so the orders can be filled, sometimes experiencing long hold times, voicemails, and callbacks.

2. Pharmacy consultations 24/7/365  at no extra cost

BetterRX: Get 24/7 live consultations with hospice-trained pharmacists and nurses on your smartphone. They can provide alternative drug recommendations and online clinical resources for symptom management, drug shortages, and medication costs. Plus, there are no extra fees!

PBM: Nurses refer to medication utilization guidebooks or call hospice-trained pharmacists for live pharmacist consultations, often with long hold times and for an extra fee.
