Managed Care
As a Health Mart franchisee, you have the contracting strength of more than 3,000 pharmacies, and the superior reimbursement rates, terms, and contract conditions that come with it. The Health Mart managed care network, powered by AccessHealth, holds more than 9,000 contracts with more than 60 pharmacy benefit managers, including all major third parties, Blue Cross and Blue Shields, and HMOs. With Health Mart, you can level the playing field against chain competitors.
Branding
Our contemporary décor and signage set Health Mart apart from other pharmacies, helping you attract new customers and offer a fresh look to your existing customers. Our local and national advertising, as well as our consumer-facing Web site, reinforce your commitment to personalized care. Built around the theme, "Caring for you and about you," our marketing communications position the pharmacist as the patient's partner in good health and a trusted source for health information. Health Mart programs and services reinforce this focus on wellness.
In-Store execution
Health Mart provides extensive resources to help you improve in-store execution, leading to greater revenue and increased recognition by manufacturers. For example, all Health Mart pharmacies are automatically enrolled in McKesson's FrontEdge™ Merchandiser program. Trained merchandisers visit your store each month to update your products and promotions, so your shelves are easier to shop and your staff can focus more time on patients.
Community
When one Health Mart pharmacy succeeds, we all succeed. That's what our Ambassadors program is all about. As a new member, you'll benefit from the community support of other Health Mart pharmacies to help you address everything from your pharmacy operations and claims management to local marketing and store signage. In addition, the Health Mart community allows leading independents to speak with a collective voice, leading to stronger partnerships with policy makers and industry associations.
