IT major Wipro on Thursday announced that the company has been selected by Independent Health, Western New York’s only 5-Star Rated Medicare Advantage Plan, to implement Wipro’s Medicare Prescription Payment Plan platform (MPPP360) for the upcoming open enrolment period.
The Medicare Prescription Payment Plan will start in 2025. The plan will allow enrollees to make capped monthly payments for out-of-pocket prescription drugs, amongst other changes. The new law aims to improve access to affordable treatments and strengthen Medicare.
Narayan Iyer, vice president, healthcare, Wipro Limited, said, “We are excited to introduce our Medicare Prescription Payment Plan360 platform, better known as MPPP360, to Western New York. This project exemplifies our dedication to transforming the Medicare landscape through innovative technology solutions.”
He further added, “Together with Independent Health, we are committed to enhancing efficiency and convenience for beneficiaries, thereby elevating their healthcare journey.”
“Independent Health prides itself on being a leading, highly rated Medicare Advantage plan. With the forthcoming changes to Medicare Part D, and the pharmaceutical industry’s continued escalation of prescription drug pricing, we want to make sure our members can afford their medications. It is important that our members have access to their medications and take them as prescribed to maintain their health and well-being,” said Dawn Odrzywolski, vice president, Medicare programs, Independent Health.
“This prescription drug payment program complements our efforts to provide our members with innovative solutions to meet their varying healthcare needs, which in turn supports our efforts in achieving our industry-leading 5-Star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for three consecutive years,” he said.
