Media Contact: Doctor On Call Physician Healthline Adds Prescription Discount Feature To Service Oklahoma City, OK — July 14, 2003 — Oklahoma City-based Doctor On Call, LLC, the sole provider of a national 24-hour physician hotline, announced today a partnership with ScripSolutions to offer a discount prescription program as an added feature for Doctor On Call members. Through this program, brand-name prescriptions are available at discounts up to 15 percent off retail prices and generic prescriptions are available at discounts up to 50 percent off retail prices. Consumers can receive these savings simply by showing their Doctor On Call membership card at more than 45,000 pharmacies nationwide, including major chains. "The immediate access to board certified physicians that Doctor On Call provides makes it a valuable service that helps people make more informed health care decisions and reduces unnecessary medical expenses," Doctor On Call chief executive officer Karl Nigg said. "This partnership with ScripSolutions is the perfect complement to our service because it gives members the opportunity to save even more money through Doctor On Call when health problems arise." The Doctor On Call national physician network has quietly provided service to approximately 20,000 members since 1995. The success of the healthline, combined with the public's growing need for immediate access to physicians, prompted a national rollout earlier this year. The Doctor On Call service is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week, including holidays. Members pay a low annual fee that entitles them to unlimited calls and unlimited minutes. Members are issued a personal PIN number and utilize a toll-free number for immediate access to a Board Certified physician. With 240 board certified physicians currently on the network, Doctor On Call is the only health information service staffed exclusively by doctors. ScripSolutions is a pharmaceutical health care organization delivering innovative pharmacy benefit and health care solutions. ScripSolutions seeks to enhance the quality of patient life through its clinical expertise, sophisticated data management and therapeutic fulfillment capability.
