This new partnership will provide over 70,000 plan members with access to Pillway's best-in-class service for individuals requiring prescription medication, with a specialized focus on those who manage multiple medications daily. Pillway's medication management program simplifies the process, with medications pre-sorted by dose, date, and time into individual packets that help plan members to increase medication adherence rates, along with a technology platform that further supports patients throughout their journey. Pillway's advanced proprietary technology enhances the consumer experience while reducing the cost of operations, passing savings to the member and the plan sponsor through lower dispensing fees and free home delivery.
Almost 70% of Canadians do not take medication properly, resulting in millions of dollars lost by plan sponsors annually. According to industry statistics, Canadian companies lose an estimated $16.6 million in productivity annually due to claimed sick days. Providing extensive and relevant health benefits can improve employee productivity and save plan sponsors and employers millions annually.
