Dear Colleagues,

E-Prescribing is more popular than ever before with an estimated 191 million e-prescriptions issued in 2009 alone, nearly 3 times more than were issued in 2008. While these statistics sound startling, e-prescriptions still only account for about 25% of all of the scripts written in the United States today. With enhanced claims data capabilities, improved accuracy, and massive drug cost savings opportunities, increasing provider adoption of this technology is paramount to dramatically reducing costs and maximizing revenue for health plans...

THE QUESTION

In this cash-strapped environment, how do health plan leaders survive and thrive while still giving their members the drug benefits that they need?

SAVE THE DATE! Join us this year at the E-Prescribing Forum on September 28-30th in Chicago, IL. This is the only conference of its kind, delivering case-study based solutions from a wide variety of regional, national, and government funded health plan pharmacy leaders along with representatives from the NCPDP and the federal government.

Register by July 9th to save $300 off the early bird rate.
