Gentle Readers, I go to a local cost plus pharmacy, Forest Park Pharmacy that is able to sell many pharmaceuticals. They do not accept insurance which cuts out the Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM). As an example the cancer medication Imatinib (generic Gleevec) cost $7 to the pharmacy. They add $10, so it is $17 out the door. When Medicare pays for the drug, it cost them $2400. The drug was filled 250,000 times in one year, for a total of $600 million. The insurance companies pay a middle man (the PBM) who decides how much that medication cost. The PBM gets a percentage, so the more he increases the cost, the more he makes. If all 250,000 perceptions were filled at Forest Park Pharmacy, the cost would have been $4 million. CVS was going to charge me $309 for a med. I got it there for $42. Here is the link :https://www.forestparkpharmacy.com There is a price checker for medications on their site. They are on Tik-Tok. I plagiarized one of the the owner's Tik-Tok vids to give you guys this info. I was just hoping a few of you might be able to save some money with this knowledge. Peace.
