SAN FRANCISCO, July 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Oncology Institute (NASDAQ: TOI) and House Rx announced today that they have entered into a multi-year relationship that will integrate House Rx’s specialty medication dispensing model to operate and manage TOI’s clinic and pharmacy locations in multiple markets.

House Rx provides clinics with specialized technology and services support from pharmacists and care coordinators. House Rx staff are integrated with the clinic to help patients start therapy as quickly as possible and drive adherence to treatment for better outcomes.

TOI’s alignment with House Rx will expand patient access to oral specialty medications via TOI dispensary and pharmacy locations, and enhance in-office dispensary operations. The relationship will further enable TOI to provide convenient and affordable access to value-based therapies for patients as part of its comprehensive community-based care model.

“By partnering with House Rx, we will accelerate the growth of our clinic-based oral drug dispensing capabilities and improve our ability to add pharmacy locations in California and Texas that will allow us to access patient populations that we previously could not serve,” said Dr. Daniel Virnich, CEO of The Oncology Institute. “We see this as one of the key drivers of our growth in upcoming years.”

"With TOI, we have an innovative partner that cares deeply about delivering value-based care in the community setting," said Tesh Khullar, President and Co-Founder of House Rx.
