Yuk. That’s the tweet.

Give your fellow community pharmacist a hand up and make the calls. The pharmacy you save may be your own. Thank you.

And at either Amazon or Cost Plus I can pay cash and file my claim with insurance afterward. So again, zero value-add from the PBM.

I had listened to this podcast on the connection between diet and mental health and found it very compelling. Chris Palmer, MD story is inspiring! hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-chr…

That I can get the same drug for less by paying cash and bypassing the PBM is evidence of that.

I wrote in 2019 about the commonality of PBM and GPO( who control the entry for medication and supplies into hospitals and nursing homes) both being able to collect kickbacks from suppliers. buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/opinion/…

If a hospital system can spend 9 figures on M&A’s, they can invest on a functional EMR.

Cash price was $25. So, still no value add with the PBM.

Jake Auchincloss 🟧 PUTT Jay Bhattacharya Anish Koka, MD Molly Rutherford, MD Marty Makary MD, MPH That’s fine, but so far it’s been cheaper to bypass the PBM 100% of the time.

What makes a vacation complete is coming home after one to have a friend in your yard tending to your garden and another friend who leaves you an adorable little handpainted chicken. Feeling 💕☀️🐣🐓👯‍♀️

Love my garden in the morning!
