West Virginia Rx (WVRx)

Description:

An electronic free medicine distribution system for uninsured, underinsured and indigent West Virginians. WVRx will start in March 2008 and allow West Virginia physicians to prescribe name-brand pharmaceuticals online for eligible patients. Prescriptions are filled by a WVRx distribution center at Charleston's WV Health Right and mailed to patients within48 hours. Patients will be able to register for the WVRx program in participating physician's offices. Prescribers well be able to access the WVRx system via any Internet-enabled computer system. WVRx is designed to provide a continuous stream of medication for chronic illness and make medication easily accessible to people who have no health insurance and those who live in even the most remote areas of West Virginia. The program requires a $30 application processing fee with each new or renewed application, and there is never a charge for the medication. It will not replace existing individual patient assistance programs; rather, it will augment them. It will also assist volunteers and medical staff who currently help patients with individual assistance programs and to speed up the process of accessing much-needed medication using a web-based portal.
