Meijer, 4D help consumers 'Be Well'

11/10/2008

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Meijer has announced a new partnership with 4D Pharmacy Management Systems that will expand the benefits available to 4D's employer groups through Meijer's "Be Well" program.

"This is truly a game changer in the prescription benefit world," said Meijer president Mark Murray. "Our new partnership with 4D will bring Meijer's drugstore services to new heights by offering numerous health-focused benefits to 4D customers."

Through Meijer's Be Well program, which was developed in partnership with 4D, employer groups will have access to 4D's nationwide network of over 60,000 pharmacies and receive major discounts at Meijer on products that promote a healthy lifestyle, such as Meijer Vitamins, Meijer organic food products and other healthy choices inside Meijer stores. Additionally, Be Well members will receive "discounts of the week" that promote items such as healthy food products and cold medication. The Be Well program also includes special services, including health screenings, immunizations, free Medicare reports, patient counseling and information services. The Be Well program powered by 4D will begin managing pharmacy benefits on Jan. 1, 2009.

"Our transparent business model was one of the first in the PBM industry and it fits perfectly with Meijer's commitment to innovation and taking care of the customer," said 4D vp Jeff Polter. "Brokers and employers within the Meijer service areas have been very receptive and excited about the program."

"Just as our free antibiotic and free pre-natal vitamin programs were designed to help our customers get healthy during these tough economic times, offering this innovative prescription drug benefit plan will allow our customers to receive healthy products and services at a discounted cost," said Murray.
