DestinationRx, Inc. Announces
PDOAP Application of Medicare.gov Wins the 2005 Pioneer Award
Los Angeles, CA, May 14, 2005 – DestinationRx, Inc. (DestinationRx) announced
today that the Prescription Drug and Other Assistance Programs (PDOAP) component
at
www.medicare.gov is the recipient of the 2005 Pioneer Award chosen by
E-Gov's Government Solutions Center (GSC). Winners were selected for their
significant impact on how Government conducts business in the Information Age.
In recognition, CMS will be demonstrating the online tool that allows users to
compare and select Medicare approved prescription drug card plans during the
Web-Enabled Government Exhibition on June 2 at the Ronald Reagan Building in
Washington, DC.
The 2005 E-Gov Pioneer Award was granted to only 14 government agencies out of
nearly 200 nominations from federal, state, and local government organizations,
as well as international submissions. Selection criteria for the award included
systems that: "increased productivity, saved limited public resources, and
improved the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of citizen services."
DestinationRx built, deployed and hosted the Price Comparison component of the
PDOAP application to help Medicare beneficiaries select a Medicare approved drug
discount card as an interim step before the Medicare prescription drug benefit
begins January 1, 2006.
DestinationRx licensed its technology to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) and developed the presentation of the beneficiary choices tool in
conjunction with CMS. DestinationRx Executive Vice President, Jim Yocum said
that before the online system was operational, "CMS was in urgent need for an
application that could carry out the Medicare Modernization Act’s requirement
that beneficiaries would be able to compare discount card programs by
out-of-pocket costs.
DestinationRx, having developed its Price Comparison software for its consumer
and commercial businesses, was able to provide this capability and to provide it
within an extremely short delivery window. Furthermore, CMS wanted this
capability to be applied down to the individual pharmacy storefront. This has
never been done before; it is equivalent to providing to consumers the price of
every single product in every single supermarket, grocery, and convenience store
and updating that information every week.”
In addition to delivering the price transparency that made the comparisons
possible, DestinationRx also licensed and operates the Online Enrollment Center
for CMS, greatly improving the efficiency of the comparison and enrollment of
low-income and other Medicare beneficiaries in the most appropriate Drug Card.
DestinationRx is a software and services firm focused on the pharmacy sector
that specializes in designing, developing, and implementing solutions for
government and commercial clients. DestinationRx is also a leading consumer
resource, providing education, price comparisons, and purchasing options for a
variety of prescription drug and other health care transactions.
