Lash Group Realigns, Offers Integrated, Seamless Approach to Patient Support Services

Lash Group completes integration with TheraCom for patient support services like patient access and adherence arograms, helping over 15 million patients in past two decades.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

Going forward, clients of the two companies will leverage the combined service portfolio of market-leading patient access and adherence programs under the Lash Group brand. The TheraCom pharmacy will remain a separate entity under Lash Group to provide integrated pharmacy services and strategic wholesale solutions for Lash Groups clients. Whether Lash Groups customer needs are highly complex or require a more streamlined, automated approach, this enhanced set of patient support services will address the industrys growing demands for such services, especially in light of healthcare reform and other pressures that are driving complexity and rapid change.

There is an increased need for access and adherence services due to the continued evolution of the healthcare landscape, said Tracy Foster, President, Lash Group. We are developing and adapting these services according to Lash Group's strategic approach to program design, our Patients First service philosophy, and our commitment to innovation, technological advancement and accountability for performance. Our newly-aligned organization provides our customers an expanded set of core competencies and integrated services designed to strengthen the performance of our clients products at every stage of their life cycle and improve ongoing access to care.

In total, Lash Group now employs 3,000 experienced and patient-focused associates; operates five state-of-the-art call centers in Charlotte, Dallas, Monroeville (PA), Rockville (MD), and San Francisco; manages more than 100 access programs; and has served more than 15 million patients through its 20+ year history. Services now span across four key practice areas, including reimbursement support, adherence services, co-pay and patient assistance, and integrated pharmacy and strategic wholesale services. TheraComs pharmacy and wholesale services operate out of Rockville and Reno (NV).
