WALTHAM, Mass., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptimizeRx Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:OPRX), a leading provider of healthcare technology solutions helping life sciences companies reach and engage healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients at the most important decision points, today announced the launch of CopayCue™, designed to make brand savings offers more transparent for physicians at the point of prescribing.

CopayCue is a next-generation enhancement to OptimizeRx’s foundational Financial Assistance solution, using verified, real-time HCP prescribing intent data to deliver brand savings information, such as copay cards and affordability resources, directly within the e-prescribing workflow.

Overcoming the Affordability Barrier with Real-Time Intent Data

Medication affordability impacts both HCP prescribing decisions and patient access to therapy, with 43% of U.S. adults reporting they have not taken their medication as prescribed due to cost. And for newly launched drugs, nearly two thirds of prescriptions go unfilled in their first year on the market. The cost to the U.S. health system of non-adherence has been estimated at $100-$300 billion annually.

Life sciences organizations invest heavily in brand awareness marketing and financial support programs only to lose patients when they go to fill prescriptions at the pharmacy. When savings information is connected to the prescribing workflow, it can increase brand sentiment and conversion, drive program utilization, and ensure patients have access to the intended therapies as prescribed by their physicians.

Using real-time data signals from OptimizeRx's proprietary, best-in-class network of more than 400 electronic health record (EHR) and e-prescribing platforms, CopayCue activates brand savings offers at the precise moment an HCP demonstrates intent to prescribe a specific therapy. It enables life sciences organizations to:

Increase the transparency of savings offers within the e-prescribing workflow
Remove out-of-pocket cost uncertainty as a barrier to script writing
Engage 900K authenticated HCPs at critical prescribing moments
Automatically send the savings offer directly to the pharmacy, appended to the prescription

OptimizeRx data demonstrates the impact of affordability engagement within clinical workflows. CopayCue has been shown to increase prescription lift by 4-5% over EHR banners alone, and standalone programs have achieved an average prescription lift of 11.5%.

"CopayCue brings together two powerful signals: a physician’s real-time intent to prescribe and a brand’s ability to deliver savings support at that exact moment," said Louis Trivento, OptimizeRx SVP Strategic Partnerships. "For life sciences brands, this creates a more precise way to activate savings offers inside the prescribing workflow—helping improve provider relevance, strengthen campaign performance, and reduce missed opportunities at the point of conversion."

"The launch of CopayCue builds on OptimizeRx's broader commitment to improve the impact of life sciences marketing and to expand patient access to therapy through point of care engagement," said Stephen Silvestro, OptimizeRx CEO. "By now linking copay delivery directly to prescriber intent, we’re better able to tackle the billion-dollar affordability challenge, and help clients deliver timely, relevant financial assistance within the clinical workflows HCPs use every day."
