Gemini Health
With a mission of reducing drug costs and pharmacy hassles by delivering drug and alternative cost transparency at the point of prescribing, Gemini Health was founded in 2014 by seasoned healthcare executives and clinicians with decades of experience in healthcare/Health IT and a successful track record in start-up companies. Gemini Health is based in Sausalito, California and has offices in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Our solutions reduce drug spend for payers and employers by providing patient-specific drug and alternative cost and coverage information to prescribers at the point-of-care. Prescribers, working with their patients, can then consider the cost-benefit of medications taking into consideration the out-of-pocket costs for the patient as well as the total drug costs. This empowers more cost-effective care and better outcomes for patients. Prescribers also save time and money by providing patient-specific drug and alternative cost and coverage information at the point-of-care. Providers will save hundreds of hours each year avoiding pharmacy call-backs, prior authorizations, patient frustration and other wasted steps in care delivery. In addition, as providers are increasingly at risk for healthcare expenditures through ACOs and similar payment models, prescribers can reduce their costs and improve their competitive positioning by adopting drug cost transparency services integrated into their EHRs. Finally, our solutions decrease out-of-pocket drug costs for patients, and reduce frustration, delays in filling prescriptions and related pharmacy hassles. Patients can collaborate with their providers to ensure that their medications are cost-effective based upon patient-specific coverage and out-of-pocket costs. Patients also can benefit from improved medication adherence delivered through more affordable prescription drugs.
