TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 6, 2016) - NEXGENRX INC. (TSX VENTURE:NXG) ("NexgenRx" or the "Corporation") announces that it has immediately instituted special provisions to assist plan members affected by the Fort McMurray fires. Given the severity of the situation, NexgenRx will be removing the "Refill Too Soon" edit check, allowing members to access their medications that were lost or abandoned. Members are urged to visit any location of their pharmacy chain who can access their prescription on file, which will then be filled and submitted for approval by NexgenRx. If that is not possible, members can contact their physician and have a new prescription faxed to any other pharmacy for dispensing. The NexgenRx provider help desk can be reached toll free at 1-866-394-3648 for further assistance.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with all residents and our plan members affected by this tragedy in Fort McMurray and surrounding areas. We are committed to assisting wherever needed," stated Ron Loucks, President & CEO of NexgenRx.
