ROCHESTER, Mich., July 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimizeRx Corp. (NASDAQ:OPRX), a leading platform for digital health messaging in the pharmaceutical industry, announced a new partnership and integration with NextGen Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXGN). Providers using NextGen® Enterprise—a full suite of comprehensive technology solutions including electronic health record (EHR), practice management (PM) and revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions—will have immediate access to OptimizeRx's real-time cloud-based platform.

The OptimizeRx platform will integrate directly into NextGen Enterprise's EHR workflow, enabling the extensive 55,000+ prescriber network real-time access to critical information from key pharma manufacturers. Providers have access to patient savings opportunities for many prescribed medications—a particularly pertinent need of patients as a recent report by TransUnion Healthcare indicated a 12 percent increase in out-of-pocket healthcare costs in 2018. Additionally, direct EHR integration means providers can, at the point of care, deliver patient support and brand enrollment beyond the e-coupon to support adherence and care.

"Given the financial landscape in today's healthcare environment, it's more critical than ever that we work together to bridge the communications gap between key stakeholders in the care journey: providers, patients and the pharma industry," said Will Febbo, CEO at OptimizeRx. "Our partnership with NextGen Healthcare, the leading provider of ambulatory-focused technology solutions, will allow us to empower providers with critical patient savings opportunities from the pharma industry—thus empowering the patient with lowered costs and improved adherence rates. This marks a significant step in the direction towards improving quality care."
