FAQs

At SmartDoseRx, we combine genomics, metabolomics, and predictive intelligence to make prescribing safer, smarter, and more cost-effective. This FAQ is designed to answer common questions about our approach, the science behind it, and the impact it delivers for patients, health plans, providers, and life sciences partners.

What is Pharmacogenomics (PGx)?

PGx is the study of how a person’s genes affect their response to medications. By using PGx, SmartDoseRx helps ensure patients get the right drug, at the right dose, the first time.

What is Metabolomics (PMx)?

PMx measures biochemical activity in the body to understand how drugs are actually processed. This gives prescribers real-world insight into whether a medication is working as intended.

What is Medication Therapy Management (MTM)?

MTM is a pharmacist-led service that reviews and optimizes medications for safety and effectiveness. Traditional MTM saves money and reduces hospitalizations — and SmartDoseRx amplifies it with predictive intelligence and genomics.

What are Adverse Drug Events (ADEs)?

ADEs are harmful effects from medications, including overdosing, underdosing, or drug interactions. ADEs account for thousands of hospitalizations each year. SmartDoseRx reduces ADEs by providing data-driven prescribing guidance.

What are STAR ratings and why do they matter?

STAR ratings are a CMS system for evaluating Medicare Advantage plans. Medication adherence and safety metrics directly impact STAR ratings, and higher scores mean higher reimbursement for plans.

What does PMPM mean?

PMPM (Per Member Per Month) is a payer pricing model. SmartDoseRx operates on a PMPM model, making predictive MTM affordable and scalable across large populations.

What’s the difference between Mass Array PGx and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS/NGS)?

Mass Array PGx panels are lower-cost tools useful for pilots and STAR rating improvement, while WGS via NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) captures the entire genome. WGS delivers 10x more data value, enables reanalysis, and drives advanced predictive models.

What is the CMS GUIDE program?

GUIDE (Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience) is a CMS initiative to improve care for dementia patients by reducing avoidable hospitalizations and supporting caregivers

How much can SmartDoseRx save on average?

SmartDoseRx delivers $500+ in savings per patient per year, through fewer hospitalizations, reduced ADEs, and better adherence. At population scale, this translates into tens of millions in avoidable costs saved.

Who benefits most from SmartDoseRx?

SmartDoseRx benefits the entire healthcare ecosystem, but patients are at the center. Patients receive safer prescriptions with fewer side effects, while health plans and health systems see cost savings, better outcomes, and improved performance. Providers gain predictive insights to strengthen patient trust, and pharma companies access rich datasets that drive drug discovery and commercialization.
