SportPharm TEAMs Up
Creates the Ultimate Solution
 Earlier this year, SportPharm and TrustWay TEAM Services
joined forces to provide a prescription medication insurance reimbursement program to University athletic programs nationwide. During their campus visits with program administrators TrustWay representatives review the details of the insurance reimbursement process and provided them with an overview of the SportPharm program, including an invitation to participate in a live online demonstration of the medication management program.
Acceptance of our program by athletic program administrators has developed rapidly. SportPharm Account Manager, Craig Brewer, has performed over 30 on line demonstrations and has added an impressive number of new customers in a few short weeks. Interest in the program is being driven by the budgetary relief delivered through insurance reimbursements and the ability to maximize program dollars by utilizing SportPharm's medication management program and affiliate pharmacy. We expect this early success should lead to more Universities coming on board in the near future.
With our program in place, the Athletic Training Medical Offices receive the logistical and financial benefits of the ultimate solution for the management of prescription medications. SportPharm's management and affiliate pharmacy services can deliver medications directly to athletes or supply the team physician with medications repackaged to strict FDA standards for dispensing or administration on an as needed basis. After that, TrustWay TEAM Services manages the reimbursement process easily and efficiently.

Our Pharmacist Suggests
Long Lasting Infection Protection
Considering the environment in a locker room, it is vital for an athlete to pay attention to preventative care during daily hygiene. The spread of germs, bacteria, fungus and infection has grown linearly the past decade and have caused many complications to athletes suffering normal injuries as a result of coming in contact with infected individuals.
Athletic Body Care's product line, which includes their Hand Sanitizer and Power Wash shower gel, were originally developed in the fighting world and has been proven to be highly effective in preventing infections in an environment where body on body contact is the norm. Unlike alcohol based hand sanitizers, the active ingredient in all of ABC's products is Benzalkonium Chloride, a unique microbialcidal ingredient that provides prolonged protection against problematic infections caused by MRSA and other types of bacteria and fungus. ABC products kill 99.99% of disease causing bacteria and fungus within 15 seconds of application and the protection lasts for up to an hour.
All of Athletic Body Care's products are hypo-allergenic, soothing to the skin and safe for use by athletes of all ages. If you have any questions regarding medications, prescriptions or pharmacy procedure, please contact me at jason@sportpharm.com.
