Who we are
A pharmacy benefit partner that understands hospice.
MaxHaven Rx is a hospice pharmacy benefit manager launched in 2023 by PPOk, the Oklahoma family of pharmacy brands founded in 1985. It exists to restore competitive balance in hospice pharmacy with full-tech solutions, transparent pricing and a high-performance pharmacy network, so hospices can lower costs and improve patient outcomes.
Our experience
What decades in pharmacy taught us about hospice.
Our work in the healthcare industry has given us a close view of the distinct challenges hospice providers face. We use that knowledge to design services that manage costs, improve access to data and elevate patient care.
- Industry insight applied to efficient cost management
- Better data access for informed decision-making
- Patient care elevated with personalized solutions
- Experience addressing the specific challenges of hospice
- Services designed for healthcare providers, not adapted for them
How we work
Tailored contracts, transparent pricing, a network you can trust.
MaxHaven redefines hospice pharmacy services with three commitments that put each hospice in control of its budget.
Customized contracts
A base contract with add-ons available à la carte, so you pay only for the technology you need. It fits hospices of every shape and size, from non-profits and for-profits to hospital-based programs and start-ups.
Contract optionsTransparent pricing
MaxHaven pioneered a transparent pricing model that a third party can verify independently, so your budget holds no surprises. Drug prices are benchmarked to NADAC, with no spread and no hidden markups.
How pricing worksHigh-performing pharmacy network
We have assembled a network of top-performing independent pharmacies, each meeting stringent criteria, for consistent pricing and service standards and better outcomes for patients.
About the networkVision and mission
Our vision
To transform hospice management services, empowering hospice providers with flexible, transparent and specialized solutions that let them deliver exceptional care.
Our mission
To give our clients adaptable contracts and pricing models that put them firmly in control of their technology needs and budget, delivered by a team of experienced professionals in pharmacy, technology and customer service.
What sets us apart
Capabilities designed for end-of-life care.
Hospice-specific formulary
The MaxHaven formulary was designed by palliative care pharmacists who understand the Medicare Hospice Benefit, and curated by a clinical pharmacist with over a decade of specialization in managing hospice specialty pharmacies. It supports precise, patient-specific recommendations instead of a generic commercial list.
Personalized clinical guidance
Work with a hospice clinical pharmacist for customized opioid conversions, a range of educational in-services covering hospice disease states, and practical guidance from a pharmacist with specialized hospice experience.
e-Prescribing and EMR integration
Electronic prescribing and integration with major hospice EMR platforms reduce administrative burden, give staff more time with patients and lower the risk of errors in patient demographic entries.
Real-time PPD analytics and dashboards
A real-time dashboard lets you monitor pharmacy claims, compare medication pricing and ordering trends, and track PPD against industry benchmarks. Reporting is finance-ready and written in plain language for leadership, not just pharmacists.
Prior authorization and eligibility management
MaxHaven trains hospice staff to manage prior authorizations and eligibility, so patients get quicker access to the medications they need.
Emergency kit (E-kit) management
Customizable E-kit creation lets each hospice choose the right combination of medications for its own patient population.
