PerformRx.com Receives Award from Philadelphia PRSA

Philadelphia, PA - The Philadelphia Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) recently gave a meritorious "Pepperpot" Award in the category of Established Website to PerformRx.com, the website for AmeriHealth Mercy's pharmacy benefit management product. The award recognizes PerformRx's success as an "electronic vehicle to communicate with key public or publics via the World Wide Web."

"We have worked hard to develop a site that meets the needs of all of its users: members, providers, existing and potential customers, and the media," said Rick Buck, Vice President of Corporate Communications for AmeriHealth Mercy/PerformRx. "It is great to be recognized for doing that in an effective, interesting way. The site was truly the product of teamwork throughout our company."

PerformRx is the next generation pharmacy benefit management program with a proven pharmacy care management solution that meets financial objectives while improving the quality of health care for its customers. Within the Medicaid sector, by using the approach of linking traditional medical management with pharmacy management, PerformRx maintains an average annual pharmacy cost trend of 3-5% versus the national trend in the range of 15%.

With more than 20 years of experience exclusively serving the Medicaid population, AmeriHealth Mercy and its affiliates comprise the largest family of Medicaid managed care plans in the United States, touching the lives of more than 1.5 million members in nine states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky, South Carolina, Virginia, California, Arizona, Indiana and Rhode Island.

The 2005 Pepperpot Awards were held in early December at the Union League in Philadelphia. Each year, the Philadelphia PRSA chapter recognizes excellence in public relations and communications throughout the greater Philadelphia area.
