CannTrust and NexgenRx secure first customer
VAUGHAN, ON, June 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - CannTrust Holdings Inc. ("CannTrust" or the "Company", TSX: TRST), one of Canada's leading licensed producers of medical cannabis, is excited to announce that NexgenRx (TSX-V:NXG), our healthcare plan claims adjudication partner, has secured its first plan sponsor to include cannabis as a benefit under its patient plan.
This plan sponsor's expanded benefits plan represents an important step forward as the legal and health frameworks in Canada develop to include the use of cannabis to help a wide range of medical ailments. Plan members associated with this healthcare plan will have cannabis products available as part of their benefits as of July 1, 2018. As medical cannabis continues to strengthen its presence across the country, it is expected that offerings like this will continue to gain traction amongst healthcare providers.
NexgenRx will be offering these plan members, and others to come, as more NexgenRx plan sponsors join the physician-controlled prescription process. Plan members will be able to order their medical cannabis products from CannTrust and have a portion of their prescription covered and applied in real time, by their healthcare benefits plan. CannTrust continues to innovate its products to offer plan members convenient and standardized dosage forms such as it's recently launched hard-shell vegan capsules.
"CannTrust is thrilled after announcing our recent partnership with NexgenRx, to have secured a first customer so quickly. We are excited to be able to offer these plan members a seamless process for ordering safe and convenient dosages of medical cannabis and are eager to expand this offering to more patients across Canada," said Brad Rogers, President of CannTrust.
