Convey Health Solutions has announced the opening of a new distribution facility and creation of more than 40 jobs in Lenexa, Kansas.
The new facility will employ state-of-the-art shipping technology designed to increase efficiency and streamline the distribution process. With the opening of the Kansas site, Convey’s OTC shipping capacity will more than triple.
“As we continue to provide end-to-end OTC solutions for major health plans in the Medicare and Medicaid markets, we want to operate in a central location to provide better service to our clients and their members,” said Jonathan Starr, Executive Vice President at Convey. “Convey's OTC benefit administration services are already supported by a robust and purpose-built technology and will now utilize a technology-focused distribution facility that can economically and efficiently deliver OTC products to members anywhere in the continental United States in 3 days.”
With the expansion of 38,000-sq.-ft. centrally located in Kansas, the new facility will inventory, track, and ship OTC products and supplies nation-wide to Medicare and Medicaid members. Convey’s OTC benefits program is designed to help members better manage their day-to-day health while at home, especially for those who are chronically ill and want to maintain independence.
“It is always exciting to welcome a fast-growing company like Convey Health Solutions to our region,” said Tim Cowden, president and CEO, Kansas City Area Development Council. “The KC region continues to rise to the top of the list of cities that are ideal for logistics, supply chain and distribution operations and we’re honored to be the newest home for Convey.”
