SiOxMed and Gifthealth: Enhancing Patient Access to SiOxC® Cream
In a groundbreaking collaboration, SiOxMed has teamed up with Gifthealth, a leader in direct-to-patient pharmacy services. The partnership aims to make SiOxC® Cream, a non-steroidal prescription topical treatment, easily accessible for patients suffering from atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis.
A Solution to Persistent Skin Issues
SiOxC® Cream is designed to manage the itching and dryness associated with these conditions. As explained by Dr. Adam Jorgensen, Chief Technology and Operations Officer at SiOxMed, many patients face daily challenges due to persistent symptoms. The introduction of SiOxC® Cream provides a much-needed steroid-free option for clinicians treating these skin issues.
Streamlined Access to Medication
The collaboration between SiOxMed and Gifthealth enhances the prescription process by utilizing Gifthealth's digital hub, which allows for a seamless transition from prescription to doorstep delivery. Providers can easily submit prescriptions through their electronic health records, and Gifthealth handles the verification and delivery processes without complicating the workflow for healthcare providers.
For patients, the experience is equally straightforward. The program offers a transparent cash price, starting at just $40 for a one-ounce supply of SiOxC Cream. Following the issuance of a prescription, patients receive a confirmation text within a minute—detailing the price, delivery options, and checkout link—with their consent. This direct delivery model means no more waiting in pharmacy lines.
Expanding Access in 2027
The initiative will further broaden access by early 2027, when Gifthealth plans to introduce prior authorization and co-pay support for patients covered by commercial insurance. This enhancement aims to maintain the simple and direct pathway from prescription to delivery that both companies prioritize.
As Jeremy Richardson, Chief Commercial Officer at Gifthealth, points out, making access to crucial treatments easy and transparent is essential in today’s healthcare landscape. The collaboration signifies not only an advancement in treatment options for patients but also a commitment to improving the overall patient experience.
The Role of Technology in Modern Healthcare
SiOxMed, based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is dedicated to creating innovative solutions in wound care and dermatology through its technology platform centered on silica-based biomaterials. The company aims to address unmet healthcare needs, while Gifthealth serves as a tech-driven digital pharmacy that supports patients in accessing these therapies efficiently.
This partnership illustrates how technology and innovation can work hand-in-hand to improve healthcare delivery. By simplifying the patient journey from prescription to medication delivery, SiOxMed and Gifthealth are setting a new standard for how such treatments should reach those in need.
Conclusion
For those affected by atopic dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis, the partnership between SiOxMed and Gifthealth represents a significant step forward in accessing effective care. SiOxC Cream not only offers relief but by streamlining access through technology, it promises to enhance the quality of life for many. More details on SiOxC Cream can be found at the SiOxMed website:
