HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

PBMs, or Pharmacy Benefit Managers, are middlemen in the prescription drug system.
They're companies that work between your insurance company, drug manufacturers, and your local pharmacy. Their job is supposed to be managing drug costs and helping people get their medications.
But here's what's really happening — and how they're putting local independent pharmacies out of business:

1. PBMs Decide What Pharmacies
Get Paid
2. PBMs, or Pharmacy Benefit Managers, are middlemen in the prescription drug system.
They're companies that work between your insurance company, drug manufacturers, and your local pharmacy. Their job is supposed to be managing drug costs and helping people get their medications.
But here's what's really happening — and how they're putting local independent pharmacies out of business:

1. PBMs Decide What Pharmacies
Get Paid, often paying the pharmacy less than what the pharmacy pays for the drug
2. They charge the pharmacy “DIR” fees, these are meaningless and unnecessary fees to help line their pockets
3. They favor their own pharmacies. Yes, they actually own their own pharmacies. (CVS, mail order pharmacies) they do their best to steer patients away from Independent Pharmacies
4. There is no transparency, their contracts with pharmacies are confusing and very unclear when explaining how they will reimburse the pharmacy

The Result?
• Independent pharmacies can’t compete
• They’re losing money on prescriptions
• Many are closing their doors

This means less access to care, especially in rural or underserved areas where the local pharmacy is the only health resource around

The Big 3 PBMs
Three huge companies control 80-90% of the
PBM market in the U.S.:
1. CVS Caremark (owned by CVS Health)
2. Express Scripts (owned by Cigna)
3. OptumRX (owned by UnitedHealth Group)
These parent companies are Fortune 100 giants worth hundreds of billions of dollars:

July is UV safety awareness month, so let’s address a common myth. Think you’re safe from sunburn in the shade? Not quite… 🚫 Myth: You can’t get a sunburn in the shade. ✅ Truth: UV rays can reflect off water, sand, pavement, and even grass. Shade helps, but it doesn’t block all exposure. To keep yourself safe from harmful rays, follow proper sun safety: wear SPF 30+, use hats and sunglasses, stay hydrated, and reapply sunscreen every two hours. Even in the shade, your skin still needs backup. ☀️

Medication Safety 101: Here’s What NOT to Mix 💊 Certain foods and drinks can alter how your medications work or cause unwanted side effects. Grapefruit, alcohol, vitamin K-rich foods, and more can interact with common meds like statins, blood thinners, and antibiotics. Always check with your pharmacist or doctor before mixing meds with anything new. Your safety should always come first.

Magnesium packs a punch in just one mineral. In fact, it supports over 300 chemical reactions in your body! 🧪 Among other things, magnesium helps regulate muscle and nerve function, supports bone strength, eases stress and anxiety, and improves sleep quality. You’ll find magnesium in leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. But when diet falls short, a supplement can help you stay balanced. 💊 Not sure which type (magnesium citrate, glycinate, oxide, etc.) is right for you? We’re here to help! Source: MedlinePlus

Here are just a few of the most common generics and their brand-name counterparts. Wondering how else you can save money on meds? Come talk to our pharmacy team. Source: Federal Trade Commission
