The affiliation between the two companies will provide Lewis Drug customers with the top software service for finding and switching Medicare plans during the Open Enrollment Period, and continue to offer the resource throughout the year. The iMedicare software integrates smoothly into the pharmacy’s workflow by automating and simplifying the plan finding process, benefiting both pharmacies and patients.

"iMedicare has really streamlined the process of assisting patients with their Medicare Part D decision making.

Lewis Drug and iMedicare both take pride in offering superior customer quality of care and the accessibility to premium services that help patients save money and ultimately improve health. The partnership with iMedicare will add to Lewis Drug’s portfolio of pharmacy services available to assist its customers.

“We are honored to work with Lewis Drug to automate many of the time-consuming decision making processes related to Medicare,” said Flaviu Simihaian, CEO of iMedicare. “This is a critical time in the industry, and we at iMedicare use innovation to give pharmacies a tremendous advantage every day.”
