Rite Aid, OptumHealth to launch NowClinic online care services

Rite Aid and OptumHealth, a part of IT-enabled health services company Optum, are set to introduce NowClinic online care services in Detroit.

NowClinic offers Rite Aid customers real-time access to convenient medical care, information and resources from doctors and OptumHealth nurses.

With this new application, the customers of Rite Aid can see and speak directly to doctors who are able to discuss symptoms, provide guidance, diagnose and prescribe certain medications when appropriate.

The customers can also talk to OptumHealth nurses, who are able to address a range of health care needs such as basic health care education, information on common acute issues and assistance in identifying appropriate provider options for care.

Rite Aid Pharmacy executive vice president Robert Thompson said their customers will be able to ask questions or receive care from doctors and health education from nurses online, fill prescriptions and consult with their Rite Aid pharmacist, all in one convenient visit.
