Industry Overview
  • The US market for prescription pain medication is
    estimated to be over 100 billion annually,
    according to a 2006 Nelson survey, the fastest
    growing segment of the health care industry.
  • The American Pain Society, the National Chronic
    Pain Outreach Association and the American
    Academy of Pain management determined that there
    are over 50 million people suffering from chronic
    pain in the U.S. An estimated 7 million cannot
    relieve their pain without opiods (narcotics).
  • The sale of controlled pain medication has become
    increasingly challenging. Both physicians and
    pharmacists face a high level of scrutiny from
    the Drug Enforcement Agency, requiring a maze of
    recordkeeping both to control the drugs, and to
    provide an audit trail on the use of these drugs.
  • The pharmacies have reacted by retrenching from
    the controlled pain medication market, ordering
    supplies only as needed. The industrys top pain
    medication, Oxycontin, is no longer stocked by
    most pharmacies Result Patient must wait days
    to pick up medication.
  • Patients using opiods during treatment are likely
    to require medications more frequently and for a
    longer period of time than patients in most other
    medical categories. Todays sophisticated
    treatments of chronic pain and terminal disease
    require cocktails of drugs thereby increasing
    the number of prescriptions per patient.

Mission
To capitalize on a pharmacy model focused on
chronic pain management by providing the patient
with a materially better prescription process
Traditional pharmacies are set up as retail
stores catering to the masses in need of
temporary and periodic medication. Assured
pharmacy focuses on chronic recurring patient
needs of controlled medication Offering
patients faster relief of their pain as well as
security and convenience by
1. enabling the patient to obtain pain
medication from a convenient and understanding
pharmacy staffed with pharmacists and
professionals experienced to deal with pain
medications and pain patients. 2. streaming
the frustrating process for phone-in
authorization for non-class II medications as
well as handling new prescriptions requests.
On-site inventory of pain medication to provide
rapid service free home delivery. 3.
maintaining detailed records of individual
patients medicines, including pain
prescriptions, always checking for the
possibility of negative drug-to-drug
reactions. 4. establishing one-on-one
relationship with patients pharmacist initiated
monthly outgoing phone call advising patient of
the timing of medication refills. 5. offering
one-stop pain-centric services including
compounding capabilities and durable medical
equipment.

Business Strategy
  • Target patients with a highly focused marketing
    and branding campaign which includes direct
    marketing materials to increase communities
    awareness of Assured Pharmacy product offerings
    and services.
  • Target physicians specializing in pain
    management, neurology, psychiatry, oncology and
    orthopedics and patients with long-term acute,
    chronic and terminal pain. Offer free
    prescribing software to doctors.
  • Carry required inventory of pain medications to
    be able to fill patient prescriptions without
    delay and provide topical compounding drugs.
  • Generate revenue from the sale of pain-centric
    and ancillary pharmaceuticals, products and
    services.
  • Expansion focused within densely populated
    medical communities. Pharmacies are highly
    service oriented and responsive to pain
    management patients requirements for
    prescription accuracy, availability and privacy.
