TrialCard Announces Acquisition Of Archer Healthcare

MORRISVILLE, N.C., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TrialCard Incorporated announced today it has acquired Archer Healthcare, a Wilmington, North Carolina-based company that specializes in addressing the challenges pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers face in accessing providers, engaging with patients, and improving outcomes.

This acquisition further bolsters TrialCard's Engage HCP offering, which complements a life science company's field teams, while delivering measurable results in brand reach, lead generation, and market share growth.  Engage HCP by TrialCard, a suite of services rebranded in late August 2021, expands TrialCard's original position in virtual detailing, which began several years ago. To help bolster the efforts of existing field teams, TrialCard offers a flexible array of services that can be field-based, virtual, or a hybrid model of both. Engage HCP offers healthcare provider engagement services for the following disciplines:

• Clinical Nurse Educators
• Field Reimbursement Managers
• Pharmaceutical Institutional, Sales, and Specialty Representatives
• Rare Disease Professionals
• Telepromotion Agents
• Medical Science Liaisons

"The addition of Archer Healthcare to our existing Engage HCP by TrialCard offering is a game changer for our life science partners who face challenges accessing and disseminating information to difficult to see HCPs," said Mark Droke, General Manager and Chief Revenue Officer at TrialCard.

Scott Dulitz, President and Chief Strategy Officer at TrialCard added, "TrialCard has recently taken advantage of the tailwinds created by the COVID-19 pandemic to accelerate the growth within our Engage HCP offering. The acquisition of Archer Healthcare further deepens the breadth and depth of our capabilities within this fast-growing segment of the biopharma services marketplace."

"I would like to thank the entire Archer team for all it has accomplished since the company was founded in 1999," said Peter Higgins, CEO of Archer Healthcare. "By joining forces with TrialCard, I am confident we will continue to generate positive ROI for our clients without losing sight of our primary goal to help patients live healthier lives."

Today's announcement marks the sixth acquisition for TrialCard in the past three years. In October 2018, it acquired TC Script, its non-commercial dispensing pharmacy licensed in all U.S. states and territories. In January 2019, TrialCard bought Raleigh-based patient affordability competitor RxSolutions. In September 2019, a deal was completed for Mango Health, the leading provider of mobile-based medication and adherence solutions for the life sciences sector. In November 2019, TrialCard acquired Policy Reporter, a healthcare information management company specializing in increasing patient access to pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and diagnostic testing. Finally, in October 2020, it purchased Canary Insights, a company that tracks payer policy changes for medical devices and diagnostics.
