What is Pharmacy & Medication Support?
Pharmacy & Medication Support helps employees optimize their prescription medication experience—finding cost-effective options, navigating complex processes, and ensuring safe, effective therapy.
Pharmacy is often overlooked as an area for savings and improvement. Employees fill prescriptions wherever is convenient without considering cost differences. They don't know about patient assistance programs. They struggle with prior authorizations.
Pharmacy support addresses these gaps, helping employees get the medications they need at the best possible price.
Why Are Pharmacy Costs So Hard to Manage?
Most employers renew their health plans year after year without questioning the underlying assumptions. Brokers present options, carriers set rates, and leadership approves budgets based on incomplete information.
The result? Companies overpay for benefits employees don't use while missing coverage gaps that create real risk. They accept premium increases as inevitable rather than addressable. They lack visibility into where their money actually goes.
A Healthcare Risk Assessment changes that. It gives you the data and insight to make informed decisions, negotiate from a position of strength, and take control of one of your largest operating expenses.

Is this the same as telemedicine?
No. Clinical support provides guidance and triage, not diagnosis or treatment. We help employees decide when and where to seek care.How many nurses will be assigned to our company?
Assignment depends on your company size and typical utilization. Smaller companies may share a primary nurse with backup coverage. Larger organizations get dedicated teams. Either way, employees experience consistent relationships with clinical professionals who know them.Who answers calls in the middle of the night?
Board-certified nurses from your Weltrio clinical team. We staff night shifts with experienced nurses who have full access to your company's benefits information and employee interaction history. It's not an outsourced answering service.What protocols do nurses use for triage?
Our nurses use evidence-based clinical decision support protocols developed from emergency medicine and primary care best practices. These protocols are regularly updated based on current medical guidelines and are customized for telephone/virtual assessment settings.How much does an unnecessary ER visit actually cost?
Average ER visits cost $2,200 or more—even for minor issues. Add lab work, imaging, or specialist consultation and costs climb quickly. The same conditions treated at urgent care typically cost $150-300, and telehealth visits run $50-75.
