@kpharmd12 Nothing "special" about the majority of these generic drugs except the spread

@kpharmd12 @MichaelAndes10 @SmithDrugCo Value Drug does a great job for us. Transparent pricing

@ShawnNairn Any $$ coming from the big 5 freeloaders?

[Erich Cushey @ecushey]

@kpharmd12 It is, but they chose not to drop WAC since going generic soon

@kpharmd12 @WellcarePlans If you look at the preferred chains on https://t.co/ijTlmNKQCe you can see how much better their reimbursements are on brands

I am so sick of Mike Williams making plays and then being promptly sent to the sideline so Russ can not throw the ball to Van Jefferson because he gets zero separation. Lose with your best players at least.

The PBM hired by TriCare, is out there trying to kill independent pharmacies by asking them to do a deal that pays them less than cost and ZERO for the work to actually fill the prescription.

The Indy pharmacies are in a catch 22. They want to support all the service members in their communities, that put it on the line for our country.

But the PBM doesn’t care about those local pharmacies.

Here is an example.
Eliquis -     
Pharmacy cost: $576.57
PBM payment to Phamracy= $543.16
Pharmacy Net Loss = $33.41

It’s the same for ALL BRAND MEDs

If you want to see your local pharmacy able to support our service members and their families, without going out of business, please call your Senator and ask them to do something to change the PBM that the DOD works with.

Use a Pass Through PBM and save taxpayers billions and keep alive thousands of pharmacies

If you have examples of PBM greed killing Indy pharmacies and /or costing taxpayers money, tag me and I’ll repost it

Only PBM reform can save PA pharmacies from closure crisis https://t.co/kjr0Zv2Ik9

@Pharmassists @HokiePharmacist @TruthRX @AIDSHealthcare @PolicyCandy @FTC @RKSlaughterFTC @BedoyaFTC @econliberties @SaraLSirota @mcuban Hopefully folks read the fine print about opt out

[Erich Cushey @ecushey]

@mcuban I believe you would have a tough time weaning an insurance company from those rebates. Maybe one of the transparent pbms venture into the Medicare space? Plus, brokers tend to gravitate to highest commission, not best for patient

Mason Rudolph is a good lesson for young people - shit doesn’t always go your way, instead of pouting, work hard, prepare yourself and be ready when you get that next opportunity

@A_Ciaccia Competition for the 800lb gorilla in PA?

[Erich Cushey @ecushey]

@sstrumello @A_Ciaccia Understood. But most diabetics are being pushed to GLP and there is no price relief in sight
