PHOENIX, Jan. 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OnePoint Patient Care, a national hospice pharmacy services provider, announced today that AccentCare, Inc., a nationwide leader in post-acute healthcare, regionally branded as AccentCare, Guardian Hospice and Texas Home Health Hospice, has selected OnePoint to provide mail order pharmacy and pharmacy benefits management (PBM) services to all of its hospice patients.
From its network of eight regional pharmacies, OnePoint will provide AccentCare same-day and next-day delivery of prescription medications directly to their patients wherever they may reside.

“We are very honored that AccentCare has chosen us as its national hospice pharmacy service provider and look forward to providing responsiveness, reliability, and adaptability for hospice patients,” said Jeffrey S. Hohl, OnePoint’s CEO. “We understand that no two hospice organizations are alike, so we tailor our services to our hospice partners’ needs, helping them with patient care, to operate more efficiently, and to keep costs down.
