2020-10-03 The Kim Hammer Show: Indy Health - Innovative Part D & Blake Torres

My guests today are discussing Indy Health Insurance Company, a new option in Arkansas for Medicare Part D drug coverage. With all the discussion this past week about state retired employees and the Medicare D approach to taking care of their prescription needs, this is valuable information.

Co-founder Laura Atkinson tells how she joined with 8 other independent pharmacy owners in 2016 to create an "business solution" to the problem of "providing a level playing field for independent pharmacies" outside of the Pharmacy Benefit Managers "model."

Amanda Peterson, CEO, gives details about Indy Health plans and offerings Indy Health is bringing to the Medicare market, not only in Arkansas but also in Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. More at the Indy Health website: https://indyhealthins.com/

Later, independent pharmacist Blake Torres with Westside Pharmacy in Benton finishes out the hour with his perspective and a few more details about Part D prescription drug coverage under Medicare.
