Default Pharmacy

We use Wal mart and can get prescriptions filled wherever we travel in the US. That being said only one of us needs and only BP and cholesterol meds so doesn’t break the bank.

If you don’t travel you can check out Mark Cuban’s company, CostPlusdrugs.com
My sister in law is a rheumatologist and suggested for us to check it out.

Note and an FYI: there are three big pharmacy benefit manager companies that mark up specialty drugs at their affiliated pharmacies by hundreds or thousands of a percent according to the FTC. They are: CVS Caremark. (Owned by CVS Health), Express Scripts (owned by UnitedHealthcareGroup), OptumRx (owned by Cigna). They control roughly 70% of the national market (I have also seen estimates of 80%). CVS Health is the largest with a 21.3% market share. These top three made $7.3 Billion (2017-2022) from the drug markups.
