Experity, an on-demand healthcare solution provider working with enterprise urgent care organizations in the United States, is growing its “Partner Ecosystem” by adding Amazon Pharmacy to its network.1
Now, per the partnership, urgent care patients will be able to order prescriptions during their visit, automatically apply any eligible manufacturer discounts, and receive fast, convenient delivery, which in some locations could include same-day service.
“Collaborating with Amazon Pharmacy is a milestone moment, not just for Experity, but for the future of on-demand healthcare,” said Adrian Agostini, Experity’s CRO. “This brings together two powerhouses redefining how care is delivered, and it’s a tangible step in connecting retail-level convenience with clinical excellence.”
Improving treatment adherence through faster fulfillment
A Journal of Urgent Care Medicine study1 featuring urgent care Rxs concluded that patients who enrolled in same-day-visit dispensing experience a significantly lower rate of prescription abandonment, including 2% abandonment versus 23% when the prescription was filled at a community pharmacy.
“When patients choose delivery through Amazon Pharmacy, we’re removing one of the biggest barriers to starting treatment, which is sheer access,” said Andrea Giamalva, MD, Experity’s Chief Medical Officer. “Fifteen percent of urgent care call volume is pharmacy-related, often requiring clinic staff to troubleshoot medication availability options for patients, resend prescriptions, or switch pharmacies altogether. All of which consume valuable time and create unnecessary friction for the patient and delay disease treatment.”
Amazon Pharmacy’s role in streamlining digital workflows
With timing being everything as the old adage goes, nearly 50% of US customers are anticipated to be provided the same-day delivery options with Amazon Pharmacy, with those enrolled in Amazon Prime members qualifying for the free two-day med delivery.
“We’ve built a transparent, customer-obsessed pharmacy experience that eliminates unnecessary wait times and gives customers clear visibility into prescription costs before they buy, and makes it simple to start treatment, ” said Tanvi Patel, VP & GM, Amazon Pharmacy. “By integrating Amazon Pharmacy into Experity’s Urgent Care Partner Ecosystem, we’re reducing delays and friction between diagnosis and first dose, fundamentally transforming how quickly customers can begin their treatment and recovery journey.”
