Today, Cencora announced an expansion of its Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions technology ecosystem, highlighting its ongoing collaboration with Plenful and a shared goal: fewer barriers between patient and therapy.

This announcement reflects two years of hard work alongside the Cencora team and the strength of the technology we’ve built at Plenful. Together, we’re combining our AI platform with deep pharmacy expertise to solve complex problems and deliver meaningful value to pharmacy teams and their patients.

This milestone is a chance to share what that collaboration makes possible for our customers, and why I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Connecting coverage information with best-in-class AI

Getting a patient started on therapy requires confirming insurance coverage, gathering clinical documentation, and securing the required prior authorization. The information needed to make those decisions and the work required to act on them have historically been disparate and disorganized. When patient information and platform tools are disconnected, patients wait longer for the care they need.

That’s where our partnership comes in. Plenful leverages Cencora’s eBenefit Services to help providers and pharmacy teams validate access, out-of-pocket costs, formulary, and prior authorization information within a single workflow. We’re seeing customers reduce intake and PA processing time by more than 75%.

For covered entities, our collaboration also spans 340B compliance audits, missed savings identification, and MFP and 340B rebate management. These workflows augment lean 340B teams and positively impact pharmacy financial performance as manufacturer and regulatory requirements continue to evolve. Plenful customers like Mercy Medical Center have reported as much as 33x audit capacity increases with Plenful.

The broader Cencora announcement includes Cencora Connect, a new digital front door designed to give specialty pharmacy and infusion teams more centralized access to Cencora tools, services, and partner-enabled technology, including Plenful’s AI workflow automation.

Stay ahead of what’s ahead

At Plenful, we’re building indispensable AI for the future of pharmacy. Working alongside Cencora and Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions keeps that mission grounded in the needs of our shared customers, from simplifying intake authorization to identifying missed 340B savings and streamlining rebate management. As therapies, manufacturer requirements, and reimbursement models evolve, pharmacy teams need technology that stays ahead of what’s next. Our goal is to be the trusted partner that helps them anticipate those changes and respond with confidence.

Thank you to David Tinsley and our partners at Cencora across the Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions team, our colleagues at Plenful, and the hundreds of customers who make this work possible. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and can’t wait for what’s next as we continue deepening our integrations and joint solutions for specialty teams.

If you’re a Cencora and Accelerate Pharmacy Solutions customer, we’d love to explore how this partnership can help your team stay ahead of what’s ahead. Let’s connect.
