FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J.,
Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Inside Rx, LLC, a partially owned subsidiary of Express
Scripts (NASDAQ:ESRX), today announced it added 14 new medications
to its brand medications listing for the Inside Rx® prescription
savings card. The program now offers deep discounts to over 130
brand-name drugs to patients who are uninsured or underinsured and
pay the retail price for their medications. The new brand products
may offer more affordable access to cancer and nasal polyps
therapies and expand access to anti-fungal, COPD, acne, asthma,
heart health, infections, and topical steroids treatments.
Launched in May of last year, Inside Rx is providing more
affordable access to thousands of patients paying full retail price
for prescription medications. In the last 14 months, Americans have
been able to save more than $160
million through the program. The medications are offered at
discounts that average 80 percent off retail on generics and 40
percent per prescription on featured brand-name drugs.*
Savings on brand medications offered through the program include
treatments of common conditions such as acid reflux, allergy,
attention deficit disorder, depression, diabetes, erectile
disfunction, migraine, neurological conditions, pain and
inflammation, seizures, and thyroid disorders. A more comprehensive
list of the discounted brand medications offered can be found at
InsideRx.com/Featured-Medications.
"Inside Rx is a champion for patients needing more affordable
access to prescribed brand and generic medications that can help
them heal or better manage chronic conditions," said Leslie Achter, CEO of Inside Rx, a partially
owned subsidiary of Express Scripts. "Our new and expanded
partnerships with pharmaceutical manufacturers who share in our
commitment to patient savings provide patients with deep discounts
on the brand drugs they need or prefer."
Savings on the medications available with the free 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. To
benefit from the Inside Rx discounts, eligible users simply need to
download the free discount card from InsideRx.com or via
GoodRx.com/brand and present it at one of the 40,000 participating
pharmacies. Inside Rx can be used at national chains such as CVS,
the Kroger Family of Pharmacies, Walmart and Walgreens. There is no
membership fee or other costs to download or use the card which
could save patients hundreds or even thousands of dollars a
year.
*Average savings per prescription for over 50% of users of
Inside Rx card are based on cash price versus Inside Rx price for
featured brand or generic medications, as indicated.
