Connectyx Technologies Announces Discounted Prescription Program for MedFlash Subscribers

MedFlash Members Will Receive Discounts Up to 85% on Prescriptions Offered Through IRTRx, Inc.

STUART, FL--(Marketwire - Mar 21, 2012) - Connectyx Technologies Holdings Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ CTYX ]) ("Connectyx") [ www.connectyx.com ], the manufacturer and distributor of the MedFlash, an innovative Personal Health and Wellness Management System (ePHM) designed for maintaining personal health records (PHR), announced today that Connectyx Technologies will now provide all MedFlash members with prescriptions at significant discounts through the use of the IRTRx Prescription Savings Card as part of their annual membership at no additional cost.

The IRTRx Prescription Savings Card allows MedFlash members to get the best prices available for U.S. brand name and generic drugs. IRTRx's discounted prescription program is attractive not only to individuals and families who already have healthcare insurance and Prescription Benefit Plans as this benefit will allow them to have access to better pricing when available. More important is that MedFlash members that have little or no prescription insurance coverage will discover that there are limited drug discounts available to them without the use of a IRTRx Prescription Savings Program. Through the alliance of MedFlash and IRTRx, cardholders can take advantage of drug discounts that range from 11% to over 85% off average wholesale price for their prescriptions, with the average discount being 53% and over 1500 highly used drugs costing less than $10 when using the IRTRx Prescription Savings Card.

IRTRx, Inc.'s Prescription Discount Card is accepted at 61,000 locations including all major chain pharmacies such as Rite-Aid, Walgreens, CVS, Costco, Wal-Mart and pharmacies at grocery stores such as Publix and Kroger amongst others. There is no pre-existing condition, deductible, income, age, or waiting period restrictions and no fee for the IRTRx card. While the IRTRx Prescription Savings Card is not insurance, the program assists patients nationwide who do not have prescription drug coverage or who have limited coverage and are subject to large deductibles, large co-payments, limitations on formulary, dosing limitations, and gaps in coverage to limit access to significant prescription discounts.
