Medical insurance eligibility and benefits verification (EBV) is a core health technology capability necessary for PharmacyChain™ to gain market adoption
EBV services offering enabled with preferred pricing being made immediately available to providers, partners and the Wellgistics Pharmacy Network
EBV market expected to grow from
$2.39 billion in 2025 to$3 billion in 2030 according to The Business Research Company1
TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Wellgistics Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:WGRX) ("Wellgistics"), a health information technology leader, integrating proprietary pharmacy dispensing optimization artificial intelligence (AI) platform EinsteinRx™ into its patented blockchain-enabled smart contracts platform PharmacyChain™, today announced that it has secured contractual rights to preferred pricing for medical insurance eligibility and benefits verification (EBV) that enables PharmacyChain for providers, partners and pharmacies in order to facilitate its faster adoption into the US healthcare ecosystem. EBV is crucial because it allows companies that engage in the distribution of medical products and services to know whether a particular product or service is covered by a patient's insurance carrier and the level of coverage that patient has. This information is paramount to understand provider reimbursement levels and out-of-pocket costs for patients. Each time a provider requests EBV information, they must pay an out-of-pocket fee. Wellgistcs is making preferred pricing on this service available to providers, partners and its Wellgistics Pharmacy Network immediately through its EinsteinRx AI hub platform in preparation for integration into PharmacyChain later this year.
"Getting preferred pricing access to EBV is a major win for Wellgistics," said Prashant Patel, RPh, President & Interim-CEO of Wellgistics. "It allows to immediately open up a new revenue stream with the exact customers and partners that will eventually utilize our PharmacyChain smart contracts solution, in addition to reducing our costs for the Company's own pharmacy as we begin the rollout of our GLP-1 and Forzet™ weight loss offering. The pricing certainty this adds to PharmacyChain allows us to code with confidence as we build the 'health technology railroad' smart contracts that will govern the serialization of the drug distribution supply chain, from manufacturer to patient. We are gaining momentum around our health technology stack and look forward to making EBV a meaningful component of our revenue stream beginning in the second quarter of 2026."
