CCLDP CareCloud Inc

CareCloud, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCLD, CCLDO, CCLDP), a leader in healthcare technology and generative AI solutions for medical practices and health systems nationwide, is pleased to announce the expansion of its strategic partnership with health technology pioneer DrFirst to now include integrated RxInform functionality, which is designed to improve medication adherence by increasing patient engagement and reducing the burden of high prescription costs.

“Through this new functionality, our platform is better positioned to reduce prescription abandonment by, among other things, addressing the financial challenges patients face when insurance does not fully cover medication costs through enabling our providers to generate relevant notifications and coupons to their patients,” said Al Nardi, CareCloud’s SVP Strategy and Chief Compliance Officer. “These coupons can substantially lower out-of-pocket costs for the millions of patients on CareCloud’s platform. This initiative not only alleviates financial burdens but also encourages adherence to prescribed treatments, leading to better health outcomes.”

CareCloud currently offers fully integrated DrFirst e-prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS) and prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) solutions to its network of providers. With the incorporation of RxInform, it enhances its seamless notification system that keeps patients informed throughout the prescription process. Patients now receive text alerts when their prescription is sent, when it is ready for pick-up, and when coupons and discount cards are available, ensuring timely updates and convenience. By offering coupons, discount cards and reminders, CareCloud aims to support its practices who are striving to alleviate the negative effects of poor medication adherence.

DrFirst CEO G. Cameron Deemer explained, “When patients don’t pick up their prescriptions, it’s typically because they forget, they can’t afford the medication, or they are unsure about the instructions from their last office visit. Now doctors on the CareCloud platform can engage directly with patients on their mobile devices minutes after a new prescription is sent to the pharmacy. Over the past six years, RxInform has consistently received a satisfaction rate of 95% based on more than 20 million patient ratings.”

The expansion of this strategic partnership between CareCloud and DrFirst represents a significant advancement towards enhancing patient engagement and medication adherence. This collaboration is poised to reduce financial barriers, improve prescription pick-up rates, and ultimately lead to better health outcomes.
