Digital networking in the B2B market
In July 2022, we acquired Aquantic Ltd., a highly specialised software company. This marked a further step towards the digitalisation of healthcare in the B2B sector and networking between health insurers and pharmaceutical companies. Aquantic supports the activities of the specialty pharmacy Mediservice in particular.
Aquantic specialises in software solutions related to Article 71 a-d of the Ordinance on Health Insurance (HIO). This article allows medicinal products or their indications to be reimbursed in exceptional cases, even if they are not on the federal list of pharmaceutical specialities. This regulation is relevant, for example, in cases of rare, very severe or chronic diseases as well as for high therapeutic benefit and applies to many Mediservice patients. The SmartMIP software solution by Aquantic enables this remuneration to be processed quickly, in a standardised manner and in compliance with the law within the meaning of Article 71 a-d HIO. SmartMIP is already in use at 23 health insurers and 22 pharmaceutical companies.
We are also taking the digitalisation of healthcare one step further in the B2B sector with what Aquantic can offer and are networking between health insurers and pharmaceutical companies. In this way we are helping to shape a growing ecosystem in which the players work together.
With its expertise, Aquantic supports, in particular, the activities of the specialty pharmacy Mediservice, which is able to optimise its services for the benefit of patients.
