Post# of 30027
Holbrook, NY, March 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerald Organic Products, Inc. (OTC: EMOR) ("Emerald", "Emerald Organic", or "Emerald Organic Products" a diversified health sciences company, today announced it has signed a Plan of Merger Agreement with Bonsa Health, a leading digital pharmacy capable of same day delivery of Rx medications anywhere in the United States. Under the terms of the acquisition, Emerald will take a 51% controlling stake in Bonsa in an all stock transaction.
In the age of technological advances and need for modern convenience, Bonsa offers an all encompassing tech-driven digital solution that creates an effective, secured communication line between providers, patients, and pharmacists to expedite prescription fulfillment and same day delivery. Bonsa is expecting to enhance its current same-day delivery to offer 3-hour national delivery by January 2021.
Bonsa’s HIPAA compliant platform and user-friendly interface allows patients to look up pharmacy coverage options, prescription availability and discounts before ending the doctor’s consultation. By eliminating the need to visit the pharmacy, Bonsa’s service promotes social distancing in this critical time. Additionally, this process eliminates prescription abandonment, long wait times and unexpected cost surprises at the pharmacist’s window.
Emerald Organic’s CEO Ian Parker believes that this solution is a crucial step toward streamlining and enhancing the patient experience. “Rather than positioning patients on the outside of the healthcare circle, Bonsa gives patients the ability to monitor the entire pharmacy process. What Alpesh Patel and his impressive team have built, quite simply, brings the pharmacy to the patient.”
The developer behind Bonsa, Alpesh Patel, has a strong background in pharmacy and fully understands the industry’s shortcomings. “We designed a multi-purpose digital platform that would benefit patients while providing practical support for doctors and pharmacies. I have no doubt that we have chosen the perfect partner in Emerald Organic to further expand the Bonsa user base and facilitate its growth.”
This integrated system connects a network of fully trained and screened professional couriers nationwide. All parties can track the chain-of-custody through mobile-friendly status updates and confirmation receipts in real-time, from pharmacy to doorstep.
Additionally, Bonsa facilitates complimentary virtual pharmacist consultations, and instant communication lines with providers to handle medication change requests (MCR) or prior authorization (PA) needs.
“This is just the beginning of our business model vision,” Mr. Parker added. “We expect that with the increasing need for telemedicine, patients will soon be able to consult their doctor and have their prescription delivered on the same day, all from the comfort of their own home.”
Parker continue, “With the addition of the Bonsa business and their far-reaching pharmacy capabilities, we are one step closer to a potential remote use protocol for certain types screening tests, which Emerald plans to submit for FDA review when ready. One of our goals is to quickly develop a protocol that would allow for Bonsa to deliver Covid-19 screening kits directly to the safety of peoples homes and have the test remotely administered under the supervision of a medical professional. This could be a game-changer in the race to relieve pressure on medical facilities, and help to contain the Coronavirus (Covid-19).”
