Liviniti and BlueGenes Partner to Integrate Genetic Testing into Pharmacy Benefits

The collaboration introduces BlueGenes’ patent-pending technology to Liviniti’s pharmacy benefit platform, allowing for seamless integration with electronic medical records. By automating the application of genetic data at the point of prescribing and sale, the system enables healthcare providers to identify the most effective medication dosages for individual patients before a prescription is even filled.

Steven T. Boyd, executive vice president of business development at Liviniti, noted that the initiative seeks to bypass traditional medication hurdles, reducing side effects and eliminating the waste associated with ineffective treatments. Unlike static genetic tests that require manual review, the BlueGenes platform provides automated, actionable insights. BlueGenes CEO Nick Glimcher emphasized that this alignment of PBM capabilities and precision medicine is designed to make genetic-informed care a standard practice, ultimately lowering costs for plan sponsors while improving patient outcomes.
