STI continues to expand their SmartTechnology™ product line with SmartCoverage™, a multi-use bridge to formulary or brand payment vehicle. SmartCoverage™, like SmartPayment™, allows for full or partial reimbursement of a medication or device, with the ability to offset costs that are not fully covered by a patient’s drug plan. SmartCoverage™ has the unique benefit to be used for compassionate care programs as a multi-use vehicle and must be accompanied by a valid prescription when necessary. SmartCoverage™ even has the ability to add new medications over time. An optional attached key fob is available which can serve as a useful reminder tool for patients requiring chronic therapy treatments.
 SmartCoverage™ and other SmartTechnology™ products are improved alternatives to traditional prescription and diagnostic device sampling and medication reimbursement programs at pharmacy. A patient may receive a SmartCoverage™ vehicle from a variety of sources including Physicians, Pharmacists, or sometimes through Direct to Patient Programs where regulatory requirements allow for it.
Ultimately, by involving the pharmacy in the use of such programs, patients continue to benefit from the addition of counseling by the pharmacist in the delivery of compassionate or formulary type programs!
