Formulary Management Solution Eases Medicare Part D Compliance While Improving Member Service
Long Beach, CA/Seattle, WA - 13 April, 2006 – SCAN Health Plan and Zynchros, Inc. today announced SCAN would utilize Zynchros’ Zynchros.com™ formulary management application for their 2007 Medicare Part D submissions.
