Cholesterol Treatment
Cholesterol lowering medications have been the subject of fascination for not only scientists and physicians, but also everyday individuals seeking to lower heart disease risk. We had discussed what cholesterol was and how to diagnosis it in a previous article. Here, we review the main medications such as statins and supplements such as Niacin, Red Yeast Rice, and Fish Oils and how these may help decrease a person’s risk for heart attack and stroke.
Cholesterol Diagnosis and Treatment
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance that has a lot of important roles in the body. In other words, we need it. It plays an important role. Yet, too much cholesterol in our blood can build up on artery walls forming plaques that can cause clogs. This makes it a lot harder for blood to circulate. Learn about how to diagnosis and treat elevated cholesterol.
Paying Cash For Medication
Paying cash for medication is increasingly a great option for people with high co-pays with health insurance or people without insurance. But knowing where and how to get the best price is often difficult. Two systems are for cash paying are compared: GoodRx which is a tech company that acts as a middleman at chain pharmacies. Direct Primary Care are where medications are dispensed directly to their patients.
Pharmacy Benefit Mangers
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are essentially middlemen who negotiate with drug manufacturers on behalf of health insurers, large employers and others that contract them. The nature of how PBMs operate has changed radically over the years.
Relief For Prescription Drug Prices
The majority of people have health insurance that includes coverage for medications. Beyond Primary Care is a Direct Primary Care clinic. As part of our mission to make our patient’s healthcare affordable, we stock thousands of medications. We sell our medications at wholesale prices by contracting with the same medication wholesalers as major chains. However, unlike retail pharmacies our clinic sells the exact same mediations to our patients at those wholesale prices.

Beyond Primary care is committed to our patients not only being able to afford their medications but also getting the medications in an accessible and timely manner. Beyond Primary Care not only cares for people in Washtenaw county, but also has patients in Wayne County and Livingston County. Luckily for everyone, we will ship your medication.
