FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J.,
Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Inside Rx announced today the addition of 30 new brand-name
prescription medications to its featured medications list, bringing
the total number of discounted brand medications available through
the ground-breaking program to 100. The Inside RxSM
program, launched last year by Express Scripts (NASDAQ: ESRX), can
provide affordable access to uninsured people who pay full-list
price for prescription medications.
The latest additions include medications from ALK, Galderma,
Orexigen Therapeutics and RedHill Biopharma, and include treatments
for weight loss, allergies, skin conditions and chronic diarrhea. A
full list of conditions and featured medications can be found at
https://InsideRx.com.
"Inside Rx offers discounts that average 40 percent per
prescription* on branded medications included in our
program, resulting in saving of an average $83 per prescription*," said
Leslie Achter, CEO of Inside Rx.
"Overall, Inside Rx has helped patients save $35 million on both brand and generic medications
since the launch of the program last May, and we are committed to
continuing to expand our list of discounted prescription
medications for the nearly 30 million Americans who are paying cash
for their medications."
In addition to weight loss and chronic diarrhea drugs, the new
additions include medications that treat allergies to grass, house
dust mites and ragweed. The expanded list also includes
dermatologic medications that treat acne, rosacea, psoriasis,
dandruff, melasma and dermatosis. Savings on these medications with
the Inside Rx card could be beneficial to patients who are
uninsured. The program may also help insured patients who choose to
pay out of pocket if their plan does not provide coverage of a
certain medication that is now available through Inside Rx.
Benefiting from these discounts is easy for eligible patients
who only need to present the discount card at one of the 40,000
participating pharmacies which includes national chains such as
CVS, the Kroger Family of Pharmacies and Walgreens. There is no
membership fee or other costs to obtain the card, which could save
patients hundreds or even thousands of dollars a
year.
*Average savings per prescription for Inside Rx users are
based on cash price versus Inside Rx price for featured brand
medications.
