GoodRx and MedImpact Announce Program to Ensure Seamless Access to Affordable Prescriptions

GoodRx and MedImpact Announce Program to Ensure Seamless Access to Affordable Prescriptions

Companies team up at the pharmacy counter to drive medication adherence and better health outcomes

SANTA MONICA, Calif. & SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–GoodRx (NASDAQ: GDRX), a leading resource for healthcare savings and information, and MedImpact, the independent pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) and health solutions company, today announced a new savings solution designed to integrate GoodRx’s prescription pricing in a seamless experience at the pharmacy counter. Now, when an eligible MedImpact member fills a prescription for a generic medication, it will automatically compare their benefit and the GoodRx price and then deliver the lowest one. The amount paid will be applied to the member’s deductible.

“This solution allows us to meet Americans where they are by providing them with low prices on their prescriptions without the need for them to compare costs on their own,” said Cynthia Meiners, Strategic Program Development Officer at GoodRx. “We are bringing together the best of what GoodRx does with the best of what MedImpact does to make it incredibly convenient for MedImpact’s members to start and stay on their prescribed treatments, and to fully integrate their clinical data. We truly feel the future of healthcare lies in these types of integrations.”

The collaboration achieved by integrating GoodRx’s price comparison technology with MedImpact’s advanced technology platform allows both companies to deliver more savings without any additional work on the part of the consumer. In addition, members will benefit from the seamless data integration this program provides. Through MedImpact’s rigorous drug safety review, which includes thousands of health and safety checks, patients will be alerted about any negative drug interactions.

“We are delivering to clients a full portfolio of health, wellness and savings solutions and we see this program as an important part of it,” Marcus Sredzinski, Pharm D, General Manager and MedImpact Senior Vice President. “This delivers hassle-free savings to members, while helping payers capture clinical and adherence data they may have otherwise missed.”

GoodRx is actively working to access new lives by expanding its prescription savings reach by partnering with pharmacy benefit managers and their plan sponsors to collaboratively integrate into the insurance benefit market. Through these programs with CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and MedImpact, GoodRx savings are seamlessly integrated at point-of-sale with three major PBMs that reach over 60% of insured lives.

This new program will become available to eligible MedImpact members starting January 1, 2024.

National CineMedia Teams with Religion of Sports for Content Partnership on the Big Screen

National CineMedia Teams with Religion of Sports for Content Partnership on the Big Screen

NCM Will Feature Six ROS Bite-Sized Episodes Around Human-Interest Stories

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–National CineMedia (NCM), the largest cinema advertising platform in the U.S., and Religion of Sports (ROS), the Emmy Award-winning sports media company, today announced a new content partnership bringing diverse, real-life stories of athletes and sports to the big screen for the first time. ROS was founded by filmmaker and producer Gotham Chopra, American football legend and Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.

Each of Religion of Sports’ sixty-second episodes will feature a human-interest story where sports had an impact on an individual, team or community. The six-part content series launches in September and will run as part of NCM’s The Noovie® Show, which airs in 19,000 + theaters nationwide before the film trailers and will be available for brand sponsors seeking to reach young, diverse audiences at the movies each week.

Research has shown that the hard to reach, ad skipping and cord-cutting 18-34-year-old demographic who are passionate moviegoers are also major sports fans and consumers of sport content. Today, these super fans of sports are seeking to consume their sports content in digestible shorter form snippets. In fact, they are more likely to get their sports content everywhere except TV. Less than half of sports fans aged between ages 18 to 29 watch live sports on TV (45%). As a result of this generational change, the value of short-form video content is expected to continue to grow relative to the live-rights market, possibly overtaking it within the next decade.

Religion of Sports has built a foundation around telling stories and showcasing the greatness in the greatest. Fans have come to look forward to the groundbreaking sports content that can only be found with ROS, transforming them into modern mythmakers. This collaboration with NCM is the first of its kind for Religion of Sports, as the company continues to expand both its audience reach, and partnerships, within the world of sports and beyond.

“When we created Religion of Sports nearly a decade ago, it started with a single series with the intention to show why sports matter and how the mythos of sports and religion are intertwined,” said ROS creator and co-founder Gotham Chopra. “With hours upon hours of content, across numerous platforms and distribution channels, and five Sports Emmy Awards, we’re thrilled to be bringing ROS to NCM’s premier cinema advertising platform, and moviegoers nationwide, with one of the of the best representations of our work.”

Since the relaunch of The Noovie Show last year, NCM has developed a slew of new content and series aimed to engage moviegoing audiences while aligning brands with movie and pop culture storytelling. This includes collaborations with iHeartMedia and Tastemade, with more in development. New series also include The Noovie Trivia Show hosted by Maria Menounos and Cultural Celebrations featuring creators Jose Enrique Rivera Collazo, Nique Marina, and Jasmine Moore.

“We know moviegoers are passionate fans of great storytelling. The powerful narratives and stories Religion of Sports brings to NCM’s screens will be incredibly compelling for Young Millennials and Gen Zs,” shared Amy Tunick, Chief Marketing Officer at NCM. “Brands will now have the opportunity to work with NCM and ROS, connecting with our leaned-in movie audiences via the most premier short-form sports content.”

Keepers of the Faith– Celtic and Rangers FC are two of football’s oldest teams. Separated by only six miles in Glasgow, they have a rivalry unparalleled in the sporting world, with religious, societal, and historic tensions.

The Space Between– The Isle of Man TT is the most dangerous motorbike race in the world. Hitting speeds in excess of 200 mph, fatalities during the event are a statistical certainty. And yet, each year, the riders come back.

Gods of War – In New Zealand, every boy dreams of joining national rugby team the All Blacks, a team that strives to embrace Maori culture. For young Maori student Pou Sorensen, making the team would be an achievement of both personal and cultural significance.

Follow That Line – Race Across America is an ultra-cycling event that runs the length of the U.S., clocking in at a little over 3000 miles. Sarah Cooper, a 45-year-old mother of four from Iowa and an ultra-cycling phenomenon, sets out to finish the race in under 10 days.

New solution combines forensics evidence with real-time telemetry to deliver unified insights into security incidents analysts need to perform investigation and response activities with efficiency and speed

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Cyber breaches are on the rise, and when it comes to responding to them, time is of the essence. In order to drive swift conclusions, security teams need to identify relevant insights and extract actionable intelligence. It’s a daunting task, but SentinelOne(NYSE: S), a global leader in autonomous cybersecurity, is expanding its forensics capabilities to simplify things.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regions Bank on Wednesday announced Anna Brackin has been appointed to serve as Chief Compliance Officer overseeing the company’s compliance risk management program. In addition, Gary Walton recently joined the bank as Business Unit Chief Risk Officer for Regions’ Consumer Banking and Wealth Management divisions.

As Chief Compliance Officer, Brackin will lead an experienced team of risk management professionals who support the entire bank and its customer base. Areas of focus include building on Regions’ foundation of thorough compliance programs, consistently ensuring a prudent regulatory risk framework, and helping protect Regions and its customers from financial loss or harm.

Brackin assumes the role following the recent retirement of Doug Jackson after a 34-year career at Regions. Brackin will report to Regions Chief Risk Officer Matt Lusco.

“Effective risk management is a strategic priority and a key component of our culture at Regions,” Lusco said. “Maintaining a strong compliance management system is a fundamental part of our risk framework. I am confident Anna’s experience, including her clear focus on compliance, plus her strong leadership skills, will ensure Regions’ enterprise approach to compliance risk management remains comprehensive and in consistent alignment with the complex laws, regulations, and guidance that are closely followed by our industry.”

Brackin joined Regions in 2020 as head of Corporate Banking Strategy and Administration. Over the last three years, Brackin more closely aligned essential functions within the Corporate Banking group, such as risk controls and compliance, program and process management, analytics and reporting, and more. Additionally, she promoted the development of new frameworks to further empower teams while ensuring a consistent approach in decisioning and project execution. Her new, company-wide leadership role enables Brackin to leverage her deep experience in the compliance arena to further evolve processes and procedures across the bank in support of Regions’ compliance and risk-management functions.

Before joining Regions, Brackin held leadership roles in the Risk Management, Operations, and Wholesale Banking division at SunTrust Bank for 12 years. Responsibilities ranged from execution to oversight for enterprise-wide risk functions such as BSA/AML/OFAC programs, Information Security Risk Management programs, and Fraud Strategy and Operations.

Another cornerstone of Regions’ commitment to prudently managing risk is the company’s team of business unit chief risk officers, which now includes Gary Walton. In his role supporting Regions’ Consumer Banking and Wealth Management groups, Walton will work closely with business leaders and their teams to consistently ensure risk management is at the heart of everyday strategies and decision-making. Walton, too, will report to Chief Risk Officer Matt Lusco.

Walton comes to Regions from Union Bank, where he served as Chief Credit Officer and Executive Risk Officer. His 34-year banking career also includes risk management roles at SunTrust, InfiLink and Bank of America.

“Regions associates throughout our company know that every one of us serves a crucial role in managing risks, and the addition of Gary to our team will help us build even further on our strong foundation of prudent risk management,” Lusco said. “In particular, his experience, advice and guidance will help Regions keep a clear focus on customer protection while managing current and emerging risks in the Consumer and Wealth Management businesses.”
