PLRX will move on this: PlanetRx.com Signs Exclusive Contract with CCN - Nation's Largest Preferred Provider Organization PPO's 32 Million Enrollees Will Have Access to Prescriptions On-line SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- PlanetRx.com (Nasdaq: PLRX - news) and managed care leader CCN, the nation's largest PPO (preferred provider organization), today announced plans to offer the convenience and savings of filling prescriptions on-line to more than 32 million consumers with access to CCN's national network as well as its 340,000 participating physicians. PlanetRx.com's staff of pharmacists who are licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia will fulfill prescriptions. The agreement makes PlanetRx.com the exclusive on-line pharmacy for CCN, which is the first PPO to enter into such an arrangement with PlanetRx.com. PlanetRx.com and CCN will jointly develop marketing plans for CCN customers so that patients seeking care from CCN physicians, hospitals and other participating providers can take advantage of the on-line prescription service. CCN's network and other managed care services are utilized by Fortune 100 and 500 companies as well as other large employers, insurance carriers, labor union trust funds and third-party administrators seeking quality, affordable medical care for themselves and their clients. In addition to prescription fulfillment, patients accessing the CCN network can also take advantage of other valuable PlanetRx.com services including a vast fund of authoritative information, condition-specific community chat rooms and licensed pharmacists who are available 24 hours a day. ``We're thrilled CCN is enabling its members to access prescriptions and relevant medical information on-line,' said William Razzouk, CEO, PlanetRx.com. ``This contract solidifies our belief that as we begin the next century, on-line access to pharmaceutical products will become the norm for physicians, patients and their associated managed care plans.' biz.yahoo.com
