Next Level Medical Partners with PharmaPoint to Drive Medication Optimization

Next Level Medical is the newest partner to choose PharmaPoint’s XchangePoint platform to optimize medication treatment plans for patients under their care.

A PRIME-Driven Partnership

The partnership will target Next Level PRIME members plus their spouses and dependents that have been diagnosed with diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol. XchangePoint’s MedTransition platform will proactively help identify patients that are nonadherent or have potential interactions with their drug treatment plan.

“XchangePoint is going to be the tool that allows us to prioritize our high-risk patients and monitor critical extended care touchpoints around medication adherence, potential drug interactions, duplicate therapies and drug/allergy interactions,” says Dr. Juliet Breeze, CEO of Next Level Medical, LLC. “Integration of this tool into our workflow increases the quality of care for our patients, all while lowering the cost of care. It’s a win/win scenario.”

About Next Level PRIME

Next Level PRIME members plus their spouses and dependents have unlimited access to Next Level locations seven days a week for primary, preventive, chronic and urgent care needs. Licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) are available by phone day and night to answer health questions and schedule appointments. PRIME members also have access to around the clock telemedical and virtual visits along with health and wellness coaching and behavioral health and emotional wellness counseling. Additionally, with PRIME, members have access to a full scope of high-quality care, including blood draws, lab testing, vaccines/immunizations and health screenings.

“I have always had an enormous amount of respect for Dr. Breeze,” says Mike Plaia, CEO of PharmaPoint. “She and her leadership team use a visionary care model to offer patients a seamless experience through the continuum of their healthcare journey. Partnering with an organization committed to providing excellent value-based care by removing any barriers that can occur between the provider and patient is the perfect collaborative effort for us. We are confident that our XchangePoint platform will further enable them to meet their goals.”

About Next Level Medical

Next Level Urgent Care was founded on the belief that it is possible to provide high-quality, cost-effective medical care for all who need immediate attention for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries. As the first organization in Texas to achieve Urgent Care Center Accreditation through the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine (AAUCM), a voluntary evaluation that measures the quality of services and performance against nationally recognized standards, Next Level Urgent Care clinics provide an excellent alternative for the treatment of sprains, strains, fractures, lacerations, allergies, rashes, and congestion issues. Unlike retail walk-in clinics, all Next Level facilities have x-ray equipment on site and employ providers who are procedurally trained to handle acute urgent medical conditions that are not life-threatening.

Next Level Medical, LLC Spotlights PRIME Program Now Driving Company Growth

Next Level Medical, LLC Spotlights PRIME Program Now Driving Company Growth

PRIME program

PRIME Employer Solutions Cover Healthcare on Every Front

HOUSTON, 2022 – Next Level Medical, LLC has launched a rebranding effort that now prominently features the Next Level PRIME employer program, which is driving the rapid company growth. The PRIME employer solutions program, represented now with an orange “P” in the logo, gives employers an affordable employee healthcare option used either in conjunction with other employee health benefits, or as the primary employee healthcare plan.

Developed in 2021 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Next Level PRIME ensures quality employee healthcare for all employees’ basic needs regardless of company size and provides employers with additional incentive to both attract and retain employees. According to Next Level Urgent Care founder and CEO, Juliet Breeze, M.D., the PRIME employer subscription service provides an innovative way to ensure health benefits to all employees, both part time and full time, and their dependents – distinguishing businesses wanting to take care of existing employees while attracting new ones in a competitive market.

“Employees don’t pay a dime for basic healthcare through the Next Level PRIME program. There is such a need for this type of program that in this short amount of time we have gained thousands of new PRIME members,” said Breeze, who recently spoke about the Next Level PRIME rebranding effort in a local interview.

“Next Level PRIME provides an affordable option to ensure employee health and overall well-being, reducing sick days, ER visits and time off work, while improving overall employee satisfaction. It also provides peace of mind and fills in healthcare gaps for employees and their dependent family members. It’s a win-win and something that our own Next Level employees helped us realize,” added Breeze.

Breeze underscored that the rebranding is not the result of a merger or other organizational change but rather the excitement that the program has generated among local businesses. Built on the same affordable, quality urgent care model that propelled the organization’s growth over the past eight years, the PRIME employer solutions program is accelerating further growth beyond the greater Houston area. Next Level PRIME includes Primary Care, Urgent Care, Telemedicine, Health Coaching, Labs, Durable Medical Equipment and Access to all Next Level Urgent Care clinics and virtual 24/7 care access at no cost to the employee.

An Increased Focus on Employee Well-Being

According to a Reimagine Work Employee Survey (December 2020 – January 2021) conducted by McKinsey & Company as part of the World Economic Forum Jobs Reset Summit, “increased focus on employee well-being” was among the top four hopes for the future that employees expressed. The Next Level PRIME program gives employers a tangible way to provide this.

The award-winning Next Level Urgent Care organization and its nationally recognized leadership provides healthcare services for all ages; from ear, nose and throat conditions to sprains and broken bones, and gastrointestinal issues. The clinics also offer COVID-19 testing and clinical trials for new treatments, work injury care and occupational medicine options for employers.

$1K ER visit

The Backstory

Houston, April 22 2022 – When Juliet Breeze, MD, a Primary Care Doctor, saw her son emerge from the pool water holding his ear and screaming, she new something wasn’t right. “Oh, gosh, he blew his ear drum”, she recalled thinking. 

Given the pediatrician’s office was closed during the weekend, she took him to a freestanding emergency room in a strip mall, assuming the trip wouldn’t be overly expensive. However, just a few weeks later, she was billed about $1,000 for a five-minute visit that would have cost $60 at her pediatrician’s office.

The $1K ER Visit Triggered a Vision

“I felt like there was something wrong happening. I realized patients like me, a mom of four, need to access medical care for non-life threatening things after work hours,” Breeze said. “But there wasn’t a good, trusted place for me to receive that care.”

The experience inspired Breeze to launch a network of urgent care centers, where a visit can cost as little as an insurance copay. Since 2013, Next Level Urgent Care, has grown from nine locations to over 40, with plans for continued expansion.

After launching into the Houston, Austin and San Antonio markets, Next Level endeavored to expand into primary care through an initiative called “Next Level Prime”, in which employers pay a flat rate for membership and their employees can receive primary care services without charge at any Next Level Urgent Care…
