An integrated pharmacy for underserved markets.
About us
We make pharmacy accessible for everyone. At OneroRx, we are dedicated to restoring quality, affordable pharmacy care to underserved communities. There is not a pharmacy within reach for many Americans, either because the locally-owned pharmacy has shuttered or a chain pharmacy has moved out of the area. In fact, recent research indicates that there may be nearly 100 million Americans without sufficient access to a nearby neighborhood pharmacy. These individuals live in what is known as a "Pharmacy Desert." Like "food deserts" where it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food, "pharmacy deserts" exist in communities lacking easy access to prescription medications and pharmacy advice. Without this access, residents in these communities face significant obstacles to obtaining vital prescription medications and accessing much-needed information relating to drug interactions, dosage, and potential side effects. Who we are: We currently provide personalized, quality pharmacy care to more than 200,000 customers in urban communities and rural areas from 60 pharmacies across six states. Our teams are focused on more than just filling prescriptions; they strive to provide an enhanced level of care to each patient that trust them with their health. Our efficient telepharmacy operations enable us to re-establish pharmacy care in these neglected markets, immediately and positively impacting community health and wellness.

The FTC interim report on PBMs that was released today states,"PBMs hold substantial influence over independent pharmacies by imposing unfair, arbitrary, and harmful contractual terms that can impact independent pharmacies’ ability to stay in business and serve their communities." https://lnkd.in/e9a-MHMF Unfortunately, no surprise here, as our pharmacies fill prescriptions for free everyday due to PBMs not paying us to administer life-saving medications. What can you do about it? Contact your local legislators and demand PBM reform. https://lnkd.in/gh8RQ4EP #pbms #communitypharmacy

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: Our July spotlight is on Selma Dzelil, PharmD, Vice President of Operations, Local Health. She embarked on an accelerated journey in pharmacy, earning her Doctorate from Roosevelt University in 3 years after completing her Bachelor's in Biology at the University of St. Francis. Selma has worked for OneroRx for over five years, and specializes in telepharmacy and navigating complex state and federal regulations. She enjoys working alongside her talented team to find innovative workflow solutions. They have maintained accreditation for two ACHC specialty pharmacies and four critical access pharmacies. Her passion lies in serving underserved communities, especially those in pharmacy deserts, where her team is dedicated to providing the highest level of patient care. With the projected shortage of primary care physicians, she is excited about the potential for pharmacists, as the most accessible healthcare providers, to help address this issue. By integrating medical billing and addressing drug-induced nutrient deficiencies, pharmacists can further enhance our role in patient care. Beyond work, Selma enjoys staying active, spending time with friends and family, and traveling anywhere and everywhere! She is grateful for the opportunities to contribute meaningfully to healthcare and look forward to what lies ahead in this dynamic field!

Why does this matter? Because more pharmacy closures creates additional (or bigger) pharmacy deserts, meaning more people face losing access to vital medications. Contact your legislators today about #pbmreform to help lower drug costs. https://lnkd.in/gvAt7KnK
Facing a confluence of #challenges, Walgreens has announced plans to close a substantial number of #stores. The decision comes after years of declining #profits and reflects similar moves by competitors like CVS Pharmacy and RITE AID, painting a concerning picture for the future of #pharmacies nationwide. https://lnkd.in/eyirf6Qx

We don't want leeches in our healthcare and we don't want leeches in our wallets, but PBMs make you pay more for your medications while they make billions. Gross, right? Join us in encouraging Congress to pass PBM reform so your savings stay with you. Watch the NCPA video here: https://bit.ly/3VvhSop Make your voice heard: https://bit.ly/3VNeGVl
