IngenioRx Buys ZipDrug in Bid to Boost Adherence, Convenience

In what one expert calls a “logical” move for a PBM vying for business from cost-conscious payers, Anthem, Inc.’s IngenioRx said on July 6 that it acquired ZipDrug, a company that focuses on improving patients’ medication adherence and affordability.

“As plan sponsors and members opt in for the service, ZipDrug ensures members are matched with the best high-quality pharmacy to fulfill their needs,” Justin Petronzi, IngenioRx’s vice president of strategic growth, explains to AIS Health via email. Services offered by ZipDrug include “guaranteed prescription delivery, multi-dose compliance packaging that provides specific instructions to empower patients to manage their medications at home safely on a daily basis, along with other targeted clinical programs,” he says. ZipDrug can also help members find lower-cost alternatives to their medications to help ensure they’re affordable.
