FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oct. 20, 2014


HEALTHWAY PHARMACIES, INC., WILL PROVIDE PRESCRIPTION
SERVICES TO MARYLAND STATE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION



(BALTIMORE Oct. 20, 2014) The Maryland State Employees Association selected
HealthWay Pharmacies, Inc., to provide prescription services by mail to its members for
the next four years. With more than 1 million members, this new partnership could
potentially double the number of HealthWays Mail-Meds users over the next two years.

HealthWay committed to provide a separate record-keeping and processing facility
specifically for association member requests. This new prescription-handling building,
located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, will be divided into two separate processing
departments with one common shipping department. Centralized shipping allows
HealthWay to not only meet association requirements, but also easily automate and
regulate bulk shipping rates with several carriers.

We are excited about this new partnership with HealthWay Pharmacies, said J.D.
Smith, Director of the Health Insurance Division of the Maryland State Employee
Association. This new opportunity will not only benefit our employees with a new mail-
in prescription service, it will also help regulate the already high-quality services that
HealthWay prides itself on.

The Maryland Office of Economic Development has provided financial support for the
new facility under the governors New Jobs; New Opportunities initiative.

HealthWay Pharmacies new building will generate about 40 new jobs in non-
professional, pharmaceutical and technical categories, which is a huge boost for the local
economy, said Linda McManus, Director of the Maryland Office of Economic
Development.

The establishment of the facility will delay the development of the online ask your
pharmacist program that HealthWay planned on launching next month. Although this
means members of our program may have to wait up to six months until the online
program launches, our developers are working to make it happen as soon as possible.
Other prescription services include order by mail or phone-in options.
