Can we use genetics to achieve better health outcomes?

All it takes is results from one simple, at-home mouth swab, and we can monitor for potential adverse drug reactions for the entire time the member is part of our pharmacy benefit.

HOW WE HELP

THE PROBLEM

A person’s genetic makeup can determine his or her response to a drug, including its efficacy and risk of stroke, arrhythmia and other adverse reactions. Although we have long understood the links between genes and drugs, the healthcare industry has struggled to integrate how to test the right members and deliver actionable results to prescribers. Until today.

Pharmacy benefits meet personalized medicine.

MedImpact is making pharmacogenomics a seamless part of prescription benefits programs. Members use a simple mouth swab at home – or in a provider’s office -- and drop it in the mail. We then use the results to screen for genetic interactions with more than 240 commonly prescribed medications and provide members and their doctors with results that are easy to understand and act on.
