HolaDoctor^SM is proud to announce that it will offer “FREE” Prescription Rx Savings Cards to all U.S Hispanics via their online Hispanic health portal website at: http://holadoctor.com/es/herramientas/tarjeta-de-descuento.  Everyone is eligible to use the Rx Savings Card regardless of immigration status, age, income, or existing health coverage.

Hispanics can obtain the savings benefits immediately by downloading and printing the prescription Rx Savings Card from the HolaDoctor Hispanic health portal in either English or Spanish, and using it at more than 60,000 participating pharmacies nationwide for discount benefits. In addition, cardholders can find a participating pharmacy based on zip codes and distance.

“Using the HolaDoctor^SM Rx Savings Card is easy,” said Deborah Dean, President and COO of HolaDoctor^SM. “Hispanic users simply, print it in either English or Spanish right from our website, and present it at a participating pharmacy. There is no enrollment form, no membership fee, no expiration date and no restrictions or limits on frequency of use. We are making a difference by helping Hispanic users and their families receive savings of up to 65% on their prescription medications.”

HolaDoctor^SM launched the Rx Savings Card program for U.S. Hispanics who do not have insurance or take medications that are not covered by their insurance plan. Additionally, Hispanics who have prescription coverage can use this program for non-formulary or non-covered drugs, as can individuals who do not qualify for publicly funded programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.

“This program is just what Hispanics needed to help them manage rising drug costs,” stated Ms. Dean, “We are proud to be contributing to a good cause by alleviating the high costs for Hispanics purchasing prescription medications from participating pharmacies.” HolaDoctor^SM provides the Rx Savings Card in partnership with EnvisionRx.

HolaDoctor^SM encourages Hispanics to spread the word to others who may benefit from the Rx Savings Card. Anyone could print the card and deliver it to anyone who needs it. For those who do not have easy access to the Internet or printer, they may request the card in either English or Spanish by calling toll free: 1-866-341-9687, and receive it via mail. The HolaDoctor^SM Rx Savings Card program will have a 24-hour customer service hotline that will be made available for direct support in English and Spanish.

HolaDoctor^SM, formerly DrTango Inc., the global leader of Hispanic wellness and lifestyle programs, products and services for businesses and consumers, is proud to announce the launch of a Find a Doctor (Encuentre un Doctor) powered by Healthgrades®, a new one-stop shop tool devoted to making it easy to find a doctor based on the criteria most important to Hispanic patients.

Realizing the importance of providing Hispanic consumers with a Spanish-language application to help them find the most appropriate healthcare professional to meet their specific needs, HolaDoctor^SM created a solution that combines all the criteria critical to selecting a doctor —in one place. Now, Hispanic users can do something they couldn’t do before: search for a doctor based on factors such as specialty, last name, gender, language preference, and office location and obtain results including key information to help them make this important decision in the language they connect with the most.

“Most Hispanics don’t know where to go for help when they want to find the right doctor and end up frustrated with the lack of Spanish-language information currently available online to help them make the best decision,” said Robert Estrada, CEO, HolaDoctor^SM. “What they really want is a great doctor that specializes in the area of need, who is close to them, and either takes their insurance or accepts patients with no insurance.”

Through a partnership with HealthGrades®, the leading independent healthcare ratings organization, HolaDoctor^SM gives Hispanic users access to 750,000 doctors in more than 110 specialties nationwide.

“Leveraging the industry’s most comprehensive, accurate, and complete database of healthcare providers in the nation, and being able to offer it in Spanish, makes HolaDoctor’s Find a Doctor application a first-of-its-kind online tool.” continued Estrada. “We are working hard to make sure that all the information Spanish-speakers need to make smart health choices is on holadoctor.com.”
