DETROIT and TAMPA, Fla., March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MeridianRx, a WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE: WCG) company, has launched an innovative pharmacy member portal and free mobile application, Atlas Compass. The new Compass provides Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) members with direct, convenient access to their own pharmacy health information.

MeridianRx designed Compass to offer members important insights into their prescription drug plan and the ability to manage their own healthcare information.

Additional features include prescription refill reminders that send the member a push notification when their prescriptions are ready to be filled, a pharmacy search function, and member plan information with a digital ID card. Compass is currently available as both an online portal and mobile application.
