Hitchcock Family Pharmacy

04/08/2026

Yesterday, our pharmacist Robby, came into my office and told me about a patient who reached out about a medication they were paying about $40 a month for… with insurance.

We were able to get it for about $40 for a 90-day supply.

Same medication. Same dose.

This is exactly why we built Hitchcock Family Pharmacy.

Not to compete with insurance…
but to give people another option—one that’s simple, transparent, and actually makes sense.

If you’re taking a regular medication, it’s worth checking.

You might be surprised.

It’s February.

Deductibles reset.
Copays change.
Prior authorizations start all over again.

And suddenly a medication that was $10 last year is $380 this year.

We’ve had a lot of people walk in lately asking,
“Can you just tell me what this actually costs?”

Yes. We can.

At Hitchcock Family Pharmacy:

• No insurance middleman
• No surprise pricing
• No deductible games
• No coupon roulette

Just transparent, wholesale-based pricing and a pharmacist who will actually walk through your options with you.

Sometimes we’re dramatically less expensive.
Sometimes we’re comparable.
But you’ll always know the price before you fill.

If your medication cost changed this year, let us check it.

Message us. Call us. Bring us the bottle.

Healthcare, Direct.

Patient paying $94 for three months of Zetia with coverage because it’s Tier 4.
Our price? $11.50.”

This is the conversation we have almost every day at the pharmacy.

Same medication.
Same manufacturer.
Wildly different prices.

When people ask how and why, it almost always comes back to the same thing: layers of middlemen, formularies, tiers, and contracts that have very little to do with the actual cost of the drug.

We don’t play that game.
We price medications simply and transparently, based on what they actually cost, not what a formulary says they should cost.

Sometimes the biggest surprise isn’t that meds are expensive.
It’s how affordable they can be when the system gets out of the way.

Last week, a patient paid $30 for a common blood pressure medication at his usual pharmacy.

That same prescription would have been $6.50 at ours.

He wasn’t upset. He was surprised.
Because for years, he just assumed $30 was ‘normal.’

Most people don’t realize there’s a simpler, more affordable option for their everyday medications.

At Hitchcock Family Pharmacy, we don’t play pricing games. We just offer straightforward, cash-priced medications, often for a fraction of what people are used to paying.

If you’re curious what your prescriptions actually cost, we’re happy to help you find out.

Message us or stop by and ask—no commitment required.

Ever been shocked by the price at the pharmacy counter?

You’re not alone—and it’s usually not the medication, it’s the system.

• We price medications clearly and upfront
• We often beat insurance copays and discount cards
• You’re treated like a person, not a transaction

No memberships. No insurance required.

Ever picked up a prescription and noticed the discount card price was lower than your insurance price?

That’s not a mistake—and it’s not random.

Most drug prices aren’t set by your doctor or your pharmacist.
They’re set through contracts with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

Discount cards use a different pricing pathway than insurance, which is why the numbers sometimes don’t make sense at the counter.

This video explains what’s actually happening—and why patients end up confused.

If you’ve ever wondered “how can this be cheaper?” — this is for you.

💥 A $94,000 Savings Win for One of Our Self-Insured Employers!

We just finished analyzing a local employer’s pharmacy spend from January through September — and the results were incredible.

By switching the exact same medications to our transparent, cash-priced model at Hitchcock Family Pharmacy, the savings would have been:

🔹 Current PBM spend: $202,033
🔹 Modeled HFM spend: $107,816
🔹 Total savings: $94,217
🔹 ~47% reduction

All of this without changing a single medication and with:
✔ No formulary changes
✔ No step therapy
✔ No insurance claims
✔ No middlemen

Just honest, upfront pricing.

This kind of savings makes a real difference — not only for employers, but for the families who work there. We’re proud to show what transparent pharmacy pricing can do right here in Chattanooga.

If your company is self-insured (or you know a business owner who may benefit), we’re happy to run this same analysis for free. No pressure — just real data to help you make informed decisions.

Healthcare can be simpler, more transparent, and more affordable. We’re proving it every day.
