AllianceMeds Cares about the Rights of Injured Workers!
AllianceMeds was founded in 2008 in the coal region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our area is proud of its role in the early labor movement and we are proud of our service to injured workers. We are grateful for the fairness and safe work conditions that unions demand. We ensure that union members hurt on the job are treated with dignity and respect. We allow the injured union member and his/her doctor to choose the treatment that will work best, rather than allowing corporate control of such fundamentally personal choices.
Our team is made up of workers’ compensation professionals including a former practicing attorney and paralegals who understand the laws and system. We have seen first-hand the exploitation that injured workers receive when left to the devices of the insurance company:
- arbitrary and last-minute denials of medications,
- demands to switch to cheaper medications that may not work as well as those prescribed by the treating doctor,
- refusal to authorize the filling of a newly prescribed medication, and
- even denials of longstanding medications that risk serious complications if discontinued abruptly.
Just like your union stands up to employers, AllianceMeds stands up to the employer’s insurance company. We make sure that union members receive their work-related medications regardless of the actions of the insurance company. We will force payment of medications even after the insurance company’s denial or we will continue to fill medications and wait for payment after your case is litigated. If your case is lost, we write off our bill. Union members never pay out-of-pocket for their medications filled by AllianceMeds.

AllianceMeds Benefits Unions
Often the hassles of dealing with the insurance company and the financial strain of paying for medications out-of-pocket become too great and union members are forced to pay for their workers comp. medications with their personal insurance. Other times, the chain pharmacy bills personal insurance to avoid denials and delayed payments from the workers comp. insurance company. We know that union members are proud of the personal health insurance benefits that their union has fought hard to provide them. However, having personal insurance pay for work-related medications is not in the union’s best interest or the union members’ best interest.
Personal health insurance premiums are based on the amount of money the insurance company pays out. Submitting bills to personal insurance that the workers’ comp. insurance should have paid risks personal health premiums increasing when they don’t have to. It also impacts the union member’s workers’ comp case. The workers’ comp insurance company values a case based on the money spent.
When personal insurance pays for medications, that expense isn’t factored into the settlement value. Personal insurance can also assert a lien on settlement funds if they determine they should not have paid for work related treatment. This results in extra work for the attorney and can delay settlement.
The best practice is always to have the insurance responsible for payment of medical treatment pay the bills. That’s why AllianceMeds fills medications even if our payment is denied and then waits for the proper insurance -the workers’ comp. insurance – to pay our prescription bills. AllianceMeds helps preserve private health insurance benefits and protects the union members settlement value.
AllianceMeds is happy to speak with your union about the benefits of using our pharmacy service.
