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.
