Digital healthcare company Truepill has announced a partnership with ScriptDrop, a healthcare technology firm specializing in prescription delivery. This collaboration integrates ScriptDrop's same-day, two-hour prescription delivery service with Truepill's digital pharmacy platform, giving patients the flexibility to select their own retail pharmacy for quick and reliable medication delivery. The partnership also allows pharmacists to interact directly with patients, providing a more personalized and efficient service.

The addition of ScriptDrop's service expands Truepill's fulfillment options, which already include retail pick-up and mail order through Truepill pharmacies. This integration aims to offer patients more tailored choices that meet their specific healthcare needs, ensuring a seamless experience from prescription to delivery. Truepill's CEO, Paul Greenall, emphasized that this partnership is a key step in the company’s mission to provide patient-centered healthcare by enhancing access to medications with high-quality, multi-modal pharmacy support.

However, Truepill has faced challenges in recent years, including a 2022 investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for allegedly dispensing thousands of controlled-substance prescriptions without proper oversight. Despite these issues, Truepill has continued to grow, securing significant funding and partnerships, such as its collaboration with COVID-19 testing company Curative and a recent alliance with ScriptDrop. Meanwhile, ScriptDrop has also expanded its reach, including a 2022 partnership with Uber Health for prescription deliveries.
