Paramount Rx Saves U.S. Patients $500 Million on Prescriptions in 2019 through Community Cares Rx Program


Prescription Benefits Manager Paramount Rx saved U.S. customers $500 million on their prescriptions in 2019 through its Community Cares Rx prescription discount program. The program’s free prescription discount card helps provide immediate savings to millions of underinsured and uninsured American families, strengthening communities by giving people an easier path to affordable prescriptions.

According to a recent study from the Commonwealth Fund, more Americans are underinsured today compared to 2014. Underinsured patients often forego medical care to avoid high deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses, making prescription savings programs like Community Cares Rx more important than ever.

“As healthcare costs continue to rise, many of our customers are looking for ways to save on prescriptions,” said Ron Richmond, senior vice president of provider relations at Paramount Rx. “We understand the complex cost decisions facing the underinsured or uninsured, and our goal with the Community Cares Rx program is to help offset the cost of prescriptions and support customers in getting the care they need.”

Building on its commitment to health and wellness initiatives, Paramount Rx sponsored several wellness initiatives in 2019, including complimentary health screenings at Giant Eagle Pharmacy and Hannaford Pharmacy events, as well as free flu vaccinations at H-E-B Feast of Sharing events.

Hundreds of customers received a complimentary screening at Hannaford Pharmacy’s events, which was the pharmacy’s largest wellness pilot program to-date.

“As a community pharmacist, I really enjoy getting out from behind the counter and engaging the public,” said Matt Alter, Hannaford Health Pharmacist of the Year. “Having done these health screenings for the past two years, I feel that my customers have a greater appreciation for a pharmacist’s accessibility and ability to help guide them with their medical decisions. I am proud Hannaford is focused on providing this service to our community.”

Hannaford Health plans to expand its wellness program with additional health screening events in the spring.

Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®

Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® is pleased to announce to their audience that they will be airing their successful business program on Fox Business Network as sponsored content this Sunday, 2/2 at 5:30pm ET before The Big Game.

Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® is pleased to announce to their audience that they will be airing their successful business program on Fox Business Network as sponsored content this Sunday, 2/2 at 5:30pm ET before The Big Game. This episode’s exclusive interviews will spotlight key executives from EmCyte Corporation, TOURtech, Shimmer Research and Probi.

The four companies featured this weekend are leaders in their industries and demonstrate the unique branding opportunity Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® offers by bringing strategic messages to the business community.

Company Spotlight

EmCyte Corporation: Headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, EmCyte is committed to the continual development and improvement of devices used for autologous regenerative biologics and to the promotion of autologous therapies used to enhance the quality of life.

CEO, Patrick Pennie says that EmCyte Corporation does more than simply support autologous regenerative treatments. He explains, “We’re more than supporters of these treatments. We’re innovators of treatments and protocols. With the good work of our chief scientific officer and key opinion leaders, we’ve been able to conduct a host of clinical trials and research projects. From these projects, we’ve been able to collect good evidence-based information that allows us to develop better treatment methodologies that are more clinically effective for patients.”

TOURtech: Featuring an elite team of event production professionals and expert network engineers, TOURtech’s experience in delivering reliable event Wi-Fi and technology solutions for music festivals, concert tours, corporate events and high-profile/confidential events is unparalleled. Services include event Wi-Fi, event surveillance and safety, mobile office solutions, equipment rentals, VoIP services, connectivity, and more.

Founder/CEO, Allen Cook states that TOURtech can help in various ways at a variety of live events. He explains, “It’s important for live events to have Wi-Fi because everything that runs the event needs to connect to the Internet. From the access control bracelets to the POS terminals in the bars and merchandise stands, as well as the Wi-Fi in the sponsor activations, everything that does stuff does it on the Internet. That’s where we come in.”

Shimmer Research: As a pioneer in the industry and a leading provider of wearable wireless sensor products and solutions since its foundation in 2008, Shimmer Research is committed to pushing the boundaries and driving the future development of wearable wireless sensing. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, and with another location in Boston, Shimmer Research believes that wearable wireless sensing empowers people, and their mission is to provide new data, new solutions, new insight and new meaning.

President, Geoffrey Gill says that Shimmer Research’s revolutionary wearable sensors can help streamline clinical trials in a big way. He explains, “With wearables, we’re able to monitor people in the clinical trials and how they’re feeling. Are they limping more or less? Are they more active? Are they sleeping better? We can do this twenty-four-seven throughout the whole period, so we get a much more accurate picture of how the patients are actually doing. That allows you to potentially reduce the number of people. Instead of three-thousand people, you might only need fifteen-hundred people. That cuts the cost of a trial in half. Plus, it makes it a lot faster because you don’t have to recruit as many people. So it can really change clinical trials.”

Probi: Holding more than four-hundred patents worldwide, Probi is a world leader within probiotics, supplying probiotic ingredients for the supplement, functional food and nutraceutical industries. Probi’s vision is to deliver effective and well-documented probiotics with proven health benefits based on scientific research. The company offers probiotic expertise and partnership all the way from R&D to finished products. Their GMP-certified manufacturing facilities produce proven and effective probiotics in a variety of custom made formats with value-adding delivery technologies. Consumer products containing Probi’s probiotics are available in more than forty markets around the world.

CEO, Tom Rönnlund says that there is a lot of work that goes into bringing a Probi product to life. He explains, “At Probi, we stay true to our heritage. As a researching company, we’ve been founded by scientists. That’s something we’ve kept front and center throughout the development of our company. Therefore, the introduction and realization of new products in this field always starts with research and development for us. Through clinical trials, we’re able to prove that our probiotics make a difference and deliver health benefits. After that, we take it to rigorous testing to ensure that it’s possible to manufacture it, to grow the bacteria and also to deliver it into capsules, tablets or food applications that consumers can have further down the line.”

Oral Surgeons at Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants Provide Lifelong Tooth Replacement in Omaha, NE with Dental Implants


Drs. John Wewel, Jerome Wees, and Benjamin Anderson, Oral Surgeons in Omaha, NE

Oral Surgeons, Drs. John Wewel, Jerome Wees, and Benjamin Anderson, Offer Permanent Dental Implants in Omaha, NE

The dental implant is the closest thing to a natural-born tooth. The benefit of a dental implant is that it is treated like a real tooth.

Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants provides a long-term and highly beneficial tooth replacement solution to Omaha, NE, with permanent dental implants. Dental implants mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, restoring patients oral and overall health to an ideal state. Drs. Jerome Wees, John Wewel and Benjamin Anderson, respected oral surgeons, combine advanced technology and their years of experience when replacing missing teeth with dental implants in Omaha, NE.

Since implants are placed within the jawbone, they offer the same strength as natural teeth, allowing patients to bite and chew like normal. “The dental implant is the closest thing to a natural born tooth. The benefit of a dental implant is that it is treated like a real tooth,” says Dr. Wewel. “A dental implant will restore you to full form and function and you can eat whatever you ate with natural teeth. In fact, a dental implant may be stronger than some of your natural teeth.”

Dental implants are composed of three separate and biocompatible parts; a titanium post inserted into the jawbone to act as a tooth root, a lifelike dental crown and an abutment to connect the two. A patient’s general dentist will provide them with a dental crown to cover the implant post placed by the oral surgeons. This crown is designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth for a natural smile. With proper oral care, dental implants can be a lifelong tooth replacement solution for patients.

Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants offers cutting-edge dental implants surgery. With over three decades of medical education and surgical experience, this team of oral surgeons can successfully provide new teeth to patients who are missing any number of teeth. When performed by Drs. Wees, Wewel or Anderson, dental implants have a 98 percent success rate thanks to the use of advanced technology, like digital cone beam scanners and handheld intraoral scanners. The practice also offers Zirconia implants for those seeking the strongest and most natural looking implants. Having dental implants placed by the oral surgeons at Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants offers a multitude of advantages, including:

  • State-of-the-art technology
  • IV sedation and general anesthesia options
  • High moral and ethical care
  • Experience from thousands of successful cases

Those seeking a lifelong tooth replacement solution in Omaha, NE are invited to contact Midwest Oral Surgery & Dental Implants for a dental implant consultation. To schedule an appointment, visit http://www.midwestoms.com or call 402-397-7777.

About the Oral Surgeons

Both Dr. Wees and Dr. Wewel maintain hospital privileges at the surrounding Omaha hospitals. Dr. Benjamin Anderson graduated summa cum laude from the University of Nebraska and completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the University of Mississippi.

Gateway Genomics Attends Maternity & Midwifery Festival in London to Expand Market for SneakPeek Clinical Early Gender DNA Test in the UK


Gateway Genomics attends the London 2020 Maternity & Midwifery Festival

Attending the MMF conference is a foray into a new set of professionals that we believe can be greatly benefited with access to this product for their patients.

Gateway Genomics, leading developer of direct-to-consumer genetic tests that give families insight into their future children, attended the 2020 session of the London Maternity & Midwifery Festival in January to share the benefits SneakPeek Clinical can bring to the patients of midwifery professionals.

SneakPeek Clinical is a version of the SneakPeek Early DNA Gender Test that allows pregnant women to visit participating locations to have blood drawn by a phlebotomist. The sample is then sent to SneakPeek Labs for DNA analysis. Gender results are delivered straight to mom through email as early as 1-2 days after having her blood drawn.

“We’ve been delighted by the reception SneakPeek Clinical has received in the UK,” says Gateway Genomics CEO, Chris Jacob. “Despite only launching last October, we’ve seen such immense interest that the number of participating locations in the country are now in the double digits. Attending the MMF conference in London is a foray into a new set of professionals that we believe can be greatly benefited with access to this product for their patients.”

Midwifery is extremely prevalent in the UK. Nearly all planned births, from home deliveries to complex C-sections have midwives in attendance. The National Health Service (NHS) alone employs over 21,000 midwives. “We saw overwhelming interest in the SneakPeek Clinical product at the MMF conference,” continues Mr. Jacob. “About 10% of the total conference attendees stopped by to discuss becoming an authorized distributor, and we’ve already begun talks with a number of the practitioners. We see this segment growing strongly in the next couple of years.”

Like other NIPTs, SneakPeek uses cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) from a maternal blood sample for analysis. Unlike other NIPTs which screen for fetal chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome and trisomy 18, SneakPeek only looks for the presence or absence of male chromosomes, enabling high sensitivity and accuracy earlier. This enables SneakPeek to be taken at 8 weeks into pregnancy rather than waiting until 10 to 12 weeks of gestational age. For those who would like to know gender earlier than the 20-week anatomy scan or want a more affordable path than the typical NIPT, SneakPeek Clinical is a self-pay solution that returns fetal sex at 8 weeks into pregnancy for as little as £129.

The London Maternity & Midwifery Festival draws over 1,700 professionals annually for revalidation training, expert speakers, and engaging seminars. It is the UK and Ireland’s largest regional gathering of midwifery practitioners and provides a vibrant forum for exchanging and sharing the industry’s best practices and newest technologies.

About Gateway Genomics

Gateway Genomics is a personal genomics company with the mission to develop leading-edge genetic tests that give families a new level of understanding about their future children. Since inception, more than 160,000 SneakPeek Early Gender DNA tests have been provided to help new parents bond with their babies, make plans, and connect with friends and family around them. Gateway Genomics is located in La Jolla, CA.
