It is easy to see from this graphic why independent pharmacies are going out of business and why the insurance/pbm industry wants to get all pts to move their Rxs over to their mail-order pharmacy.
According to the graphic the mail-order pharmacy got paid as much as $4,000+ more than the community pharmacy got paid to fill the same Rx.
On every Rx, the mail-order pharmacy got paid SUBSTANTIALLY more than the community pharmacy was paid.
One particular Rx the community pharmacy was paid abt $2,000 LESS THAN THE COST OF THE MEDICATION FROM THE DRUG WHOLESALER. It does not take an MBA or a PhD in business management to figure out that selling products for substantially less than it costs to buy the product from a wholesaler, is not a good business plan to help ensure the business has a profitable/sustainable future.
