How do you get meds so cheaply?

Over the past few years, we’ve highlighted the savings of over $3000 in 2 years that the Smith family was able to keep on hand because of being members of our DPC practice at Direct Doctors.

In 2016, we highlighted the following cost savings on medications:

​

Since then, we’ve continued to share our wholesale medication pricing with our patients.  Some of the most common medication savings we pass on to patients are:

• Sildenafil 100mg (generic Viagara) 100 pills $56 (average pharmacy price $75)
  
• Sumatriptan 100mg (generic Imitrex) 9 pills $5.50 (average pharmacy price $15)
  
• Zyrtec 10mg 100 tablets $4.70 (average pharmacy price $10)
  

Because in RI doctors are able to wholesale order medications for their patients when clinically appropriate, we can cut out the pharmacy/insurance middle men and offer direct pricing to our patients at cost.  This reflects a savings to patients, especially on chronic medications, that is not found in the typical primary care practice.

These are just examples but we are always happy to help interested patients compare pricing to see if the addition of medication-cost-savings may tip the scale in favor of a DPC membership.  Check us out at www.directdoctors.org for more info!
