Most
people do very little comparison shopping when purchasing prescription
drugs. But this can be a big mistake, because the business has gotten
very competitive in recent years. Pharmacies know that their customers
will often purchase other items while they are getting prescriptions filled,
and so are willing to provide significant discounts to groups that can
increase the traffic in their stores.
One
of the great benefits of consumer-driven healthcare is that companies
are competing for our business, so if we are smart consumers we can save
a lot of money. When we are negotiating as a large group, we can
often save even more.

Benefit #2 - Overseas Mail Order Prescriptions: As you probably know, many prescriptions can be obtained
substantially cheaper by purchasing from out of this country, and often
outside of Canada as well. For instance, a 90 day supply of Lipitor
that would retail in the U.S. for $431, can be obtained from India for
as low as $123.49. Importing prescription drugs for personal use
is legal under the FDA's Personal
Use Import Policy, but there are many unreputable companies in
this business. After a long search, we have found a company that
we find to be reputable, with outstanding personal service and very good
pricing. To request a price analysis on your current prescriptions,
simply fill out the form below. Martin will get back to you with
no obligation 90 day pricing.
