Medication adherence
PDC is decided at home, one dose at a time.
A mechanical cap for Medicare Advantage adherence — and only a plan that dispenses its own prescriptions can run it.
- No app
- No battery
- No enrollment
- No targeting
- No new behavior to learn
A reminder built into the cap, not around it.
The plan can pay for the fill. It cannot be there for the dose.
A 90-day fill reaches the member four times a year. The cap is with them every day.
Take the dose, close the cap, hear the click. It’s the same small satisfaction as crossing something off your to-do list. That’s how habits form.
How the measure is scored
Triple-weighted, and graded against the field.
A competitor’s adherence gain is your loss.
The three Part D adherence measures each carry a weight of 3 for the Star Rating measurement year beginning January 1, 2027. For a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage they feed the overall contract rating — the rating the quality bonus turns on. The cut points are set by where everyone else lands, so if other contracts improve and yours holds, the bar moves and the star falls.
Single-weighted for the 2026 Star Rating measurement year only, then back to 3.
Operational fit
It goes on at a step you already own.
A supply change, not a program launch. Every bottle gets a cap at the first fill — nobody has to be enrolled.
It is a closure, replacing your current closure and compatible with industry-standard prescription vials, high-speed filling lines and capping equipment.
No electronic connection. No integration project. No new data to secure. A single communication to members at launch, then nothing to maintain.
The model
We license the mechanism. You supply the caps.
The technology is protected by four U.S. patents.
Produced by whoever already makes the closures your pharmacy buys.
We do not manufacture, and we are not asking to become a vendor in your supply chain.
Evidence
Habits beat education.
A meta-analysis including 568,811 subjects (771 trials) in adherence trials (Conn VS, Ruppar TM) found that habit-based and behavioral interventions outperformed cognitive interventions aimed at changing patient knowledge or beliefs — directly supporting RedCap’s mechanism, which operates through a cue-action-reward habit loop at the moment of dosing rather than through education or reminders. The analysis also found that interventions delivered by pharmacists, administered directly to patients, were among the most effective.

Next step
Worth a conversation.
The mechanism is available to license. What a plan can do with it is the opportunity, and that is the conversation.
