OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) (the “Company”), a leading distributor of Medicare insurance policies and owner of a rapidly-growing healthcare services platform, today announced the expanded launch of their innovative concierge-like service designed to specifically improve medication adherence for Medicare beneficiaries managing multiple chronic conditions and complex medication regimens. SelectQuote's SelectRx pharmacy recently trialed a new approach with a regional health plan that demonstrated over 90% adherence, strengthening HEDIS Star ratings across the triple-weighted cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension measures. The Company plans to expand to additional payers this calendar year and will roll out across SelectRx’s pharmacy platform in 2026. This program further demonstrates SelectQuote's deep commitment to driving better health outcomes and greater value for both patients and payer partners. This high-touch solution is purpose-built to address the critical challenge of medication non-adherence, which often leads to preventable hospitalizations, adverse drug interactions, and escalating healthcare costs for the Medicare system. SelectRx designed the program to proactively identify and engage high- and medium-risk patients, prioritizing those with a higher likelihood of adherence gaps. These beneficiaries stand to benefit most from enhanced support in managing their complex medication schedules. SelectQuote aims to help patients overcome adherence barriers through escalations to its clinical pharmacist team, who can provide specialized intervention. The Company also plans to launch a complementary program for lower risk members to support their continued medication adherence. "We are incredibly excited about this initiative and its potential to significantly improve medication management for our most vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries," said Bob Grant, President of SelectQuote. "Our SelectRx pharmacy offering already dramatically improves medication adherence and other health measures through timely, convenient delivery and easy-to-use packaging. We believe this new concierge-like program underscores that we are much more than a traditional Medicare broker helping beneficiaries find the right health plan. The program now takes our foundational commitment to improving Medicare patient outcomes to the next level. It embodies our mission to provide ongoing, personalized support that directly impacts patient health and well-being, significantly reducing costly acute episodes and improving quality of life."
