In today’s fast-paced world, convenience and efficiency are rising, especially when it comes to healthcare. Medvantx’s Direct-to-Patient Fulfillment Cash Pay Solution, also known as direct-to-patient (DTP) services, is revolutionizing the way patients receive their medications. Our innovative approach is ideal for non-complex medications where prescription fulfillment, payment and tracking can be handled virtually, through our proprietary Medvantx Insights Platform.
What is Cash Pay?
Cash pay programs allow patients to pay directly for their medications via online credit card processing, bypassing the need for insurance. This model is particularly beneficial for patients seeking specific medications that may not be covered by insurance. Once they have an established prescription, medications can then be filled by Medvantx.
2025 Trends and Insights
As we move into 2025, the demand for cash pay solutions continues to grow. Patients are increasingly seeking convenient and efficient ways to access their medications without the hassle of insurance. According to McKinsey, the healthcare industry is shifting towards non-acute care delivery, healthcare software, data, analytics, and specialty pharmacy segments[1]. This shift is driving the adoption of cash pay options as patients look for more personalized and accessible healthcare solutions.
Specific areas of involvement for cash pay programs include weight loss, ophthalmology and Men’s Heath & Erectile Dysfunction. For instance, GoodRx highlights that cash pay options are helping pharmaceutical brands drive first fills and refills, as well as enroll more eligible patients into their patient assistance programs[2]. Additionally, the PwC report on payments in 2025 indicates that global cashless payment volumes are set to increase by more than 80% from 2020 to 2025, reaching almost 1.9 trillion transactions[3]. This trend emphasizes the growing acceptance and demand for cash pay solutions in healthcare.
Patient Prefer Cash Pay
According to a recent survey, approximately 30% of patients prefer cash pay options over using their insurance for medications that may not be covered[4]. This preference is driven by the desire for quicker access to medications and the ability to bypass insurance restrictions. Additionally, the volume of cash pay orders is expected to increase by 25% in 2025, reflecting the growing demand for this payment model[5].
