Adults over age 65 facing rising out-of-pocket costs for their life-sustaining medications now have a new option to consider: Cost Plus Drug Company. Founded by Mark Cuban with a belief that Americans should have better access to medication, Cost Plus Drugs offers hundreds of generic drugs at considerable savings by cutting out the middleman. The company is committed to affordability, transparency and efficiency.
Company highlights and considerations:
- Almost 1,000 generic drugs are available; no brand names
- Filling a prescription is easy and direct
- Cost Plus Drugs does not accept Medicare
- Purchases from the site do not count toward meeting a Part D or Medicare Advantage prescription drug plan deductible
In general, to minimize the risk of steep penalties in the long term, Cost Plus Drugs would not be recommended as a substitute for a Part D prescription drug plan. Rather, it is a cost-effective additional option. Mark or Curtis would be happy to look at your drug expenditures to determine when and if Cost Plus Drugs is the right choice in your overall healthcare spending strategy.
