CI Cigna Group

By Chris Wack

MedAvail Inc. said it is partnering with Cigna Medical Group to provide patients a convenient way to receive medications through MedAvail's SpotRx pharmacy kiosks.

MedAvail said its SpotRx pharmacy kiosks will now be available at four of Cigna Medical Group's clinics located around Phoenix.

Patients visiting these clinics will be able to consult virtually with pharmacists and fill their prescriptions within the clinics, eliminating the need to make separate trips to pharmacies. SpotRx also provides patients the option to have their medications delivered to their homes free of charge.

With the SpotRx embedded pharmacy, patients can receive free, contactless, next-day home delivery for all eligible prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, and follow-up care calls from a local SpotRx pharmacist after receiving the prescription.

MedAvail is a longstanding Cigna partner, including investments in 2018 by Express Scripts and in 2020 by Cigna Ventures.

MedAvail shares were up 33% to $17.10 in premarket trading.
