PRESS RELEASE 120 West Germantown Pike, Suite 200 For information contact: Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 Tom Behlau, Chief Operating Officer www.quiqmeds.com 610-828-7221 For Immediate Release: October 25, 2006
Inexpensive Generic Drugs Now Available With Added Convenience – At Your Doctor’s Office
Discount stores aren’t the only places where consumers can now get low-cost
generic drugs. With the advent of the new QuiqMeds system in the Philadelphia region,
several of the area’s larger physician practices also offer competitive pricing on widely-
prescribed generic drugs, with the added convenience of having the prescription filled right
at the physician’s office, with no waiting and no extra drive time.
Generic drugs, typically far less expensive than their brand-name counterparts,
must meet the same quality and safety standards, and be approved by the Food and Drug
Administration. Even while keeping generic drug costs in check for consumers, most
physicians who have introduced the QuiqMeds system to their patients have realized
incremental income, and enhanced the quality of care for their patients by using the
revolutionary system. This revenue stream helps to offset rising costs of billing and
dwindling reimbursements.
“Convenience and patient safety are the bonuses that a QuiqMeds user has over
filling the prescription at a discount department store,” says Tom Behlau, Chief
- Continued –
Operating Officer of the Plymouth Meeting, PA based Company. “At doctor’s offices that
have begun using our system, patients can get a 100-day supply of their generic
medication quickly, more conveniently, directly from the physician who has written the
prescription, and at a great value.”
The QuiqMeds Inventory Control Unit (ICU) in a contracting physician’s office is
stocked with a customized formulary of generic drugs that are prescribed most often in
that doctor’s office. What makes QuiqMeds unique is its computerized inventory control
equipment that includes a locked, specially modified commercial delivery unit, from which
the generic prescriptions are delivered to the patient right in the doctor’s office –within
minutes of the time the prescription is keyed by the doctor into a wall-mounted touch
screen.
QuiqMeds tracks the inventory and reports reorder information over the internet to
the central QuiqMeds office. Customized refill inventories are then delivered and restocked
in the machine by an authorized QuiqMeds’ representative.
Headquartered in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, QuiqMeds LLC is investor
owned and operated. Physicians interested in the QuiqMeds system for their practice
should contact the company at 610-828-7221 or through the company’s website,
www.quiqmeds.com.
