We recently sat down with Ben Holber, Founder CEO of YoDerm, for another episode of HIPAA Center.
Here is a transcript of how Ben is simplifying the dermatology prescription process. You can watch the entire interview here.
Ben Holber: How YoDerm is simplifying receiving dermatology prescriptions
Hoala Greevy: Now I understand you folks are also – and I think you alluded to it a few minutes ago – you’re also in the mix when it comes to the delivery of the treatments?
Ben Holber: Yeah, that’s right. Yeah, absolutely.
Hoala Greevy: That’s cool.
Ben Holber: Yeah we initially started off just doing the consultations and the prescriber would create your treatment plan for you and if there was a prescription, we’d send it off to say CVS and you’d go pick it up.
We found that regardless of how easy we made the consult, it’s actually still really difficult to obtain the meds. You’re dealing with navigating your maze of co-pay, co-insurance, max amount of pocket, all that stuff.
And ultimately, you still have to find time to go to the pharmacy. We can make getting the treatment plan as conveniently as possible but if medication is still difficult, the treatment plan doesn’t matter, right?
So for a handful of conditions, we’re doing the fulfillment as well with partner pharmacies so we can send it directly to patients. And we found that our retention and our patient compliance has shot through the roof because of it.
Hoala Greevy: Oh, that’s great.
Ben Holber: Yeah, yeah. It’s a win-win for everybody.
Hoala Greevy: The last mile.
Ben Holber: Exactly.
Hoala Greevy: That’s awesome.
