Amerigroup is a health insurance company headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It is the largest publicly-traded company focused exclusively on meeting the needs of those enrolled in publicly-funded healthcare programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. In 1994, Amerigroup was founded to respond to the growing need for private-sector partners in states managing healthcare programs for lower-income families and people with disabilities.
Distribution Strategy
The Amerigroup Foundation today announced that it has provided a grant of $10,000 to the Rx Partnership in Richmond, Virginia. The grant will be used to support increased access to medications in four free clinics in Virginia.
The Rx Partnership is an organization that works to provide uninsured Virginians with access to medication through community-based clinics by serving as a broker to access and distribute free bulk prescription medications to 20 affiliated community-based clinics. Rx Partnership's unique bulk replacement method results in a streamlined, efficient and cost effective process that delivers more drugs to a greater number of patients in need. More than $50 million in free medication has been provided to over 35,500 uninsured Virginians since the program began in 2002.
The first $2,500 of the $10,000 grant provided to Rx Partnership supports the Augusta Regional Free Clinic in Fishersville, Virginia. "Rx Partnership is pleased to add Amerigroup as a key partner in 2011," said Amy Yarcich, executive director of RxP. "Through their generous contribution, Amerigroup is helping to support the delivery of medication to uninsured patients at Augusta Regional Free Clinic and 19 other free clinics and community health centers around the state who rely on Rx Partnership to help their most vulnerable patients receive the vital medication they need to treat a variety of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension and asthma."
Rx Partnership is an innovative public/private partnership to increase access to free prescription medications for Virginia's eligible uninsured. The program solicits free medication from pharmaceutical companies, and then arranges for their distribution directly to Affiliate free clinics and federally qualified health centers throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, resulting in significantly more drugs getting to the people who need them, but cannot afford them.
