CEO of
Progressive Care Inc. Garners Coverage in Authority Magazine as a
Hero of the Opioid Crisis
MIAMI, FL -- January 10,
2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Progressive
Care Inc. (OTCQB:
RXMD), a
personalized healthcare services and technology company, today
announced that it has garnered media coverage in
Authority Magazine as a
hero of the opioid crisis.
"I am honored to be recognized
in Authority
Magazine as a
hero of the opioid crisis, something I am so passionate about
fighting" said S. Parikh Mars, CEO of Progressive Care Inc.
"Progressive Care strives to put patients first by offering the
best alternatives to opioid medications
and by making the
process to attain these medicines seamless and
affordable."
In an
interview titled
Heroes Of The Opioid Crisis,
published December 27, 2018 in
Authority Magazine Mars
discusses how she would like to a see a bill that limits the extent
to which a patient can be denied coverage for necessary
medications.
In
the piece, Mars writes: "We are fighting for non-opioid treatments
for pain to be routinely covered by insurance. Today insurance
companies are restricting benefits to the point where a patient can
no longer get coverage for outpatient pain management solutions
other than prescription grade ibuprofen, or Tylenol. There are also
many plans that will cover the opioid treatment after Tylenol has
been tried, but not cover a similar in cost non-opioid treatment.
This needs to change. We need to recognize that pain is subjective
and no two pain patients are the same. We need to have all of the
options available to treat patients with pain and cost needs to
stop being the primary concern."
Progressive
Care has remained committed to fighting the opioid epidemic by
continuing to educate their community. The company believes that
more education for doctors about pain management and more education
for patients on practical health care at home leads to a better
understanding to how our bodies work and therefore what we need to
live a healthful life.
The
recent media coverage comes after the company's efforts to provide
its network with more healthcare informational resources
through
PharmCo Pharmacy.

industry as a whole can be found on the
