Rima Arora, PharmD, RPh, Director of Pharmacy at DiRx, discusses the challenges patients face in affording prescription medicines due to rising healthcare costs and limited insurance coverage. DiRx addresses these issues by offering affordable generic medicines without requiring health insurance, transparent pricing, and convenient options like auto-refill programs and an Annual Savings Plan to help consumers manage their medication expenses effectively.more complicated for consumers in the past few years. What are some of the frustrations you have been hearing from consumers during your years as a pharmacist?
Rima: “It has gotten harder for people to plan and budget for medicines, the way they do with other expenses. The cost for prescriptions fluctuates so that each time an individual goes to the pharmacy, they may pay a different price. At DiRx, we have several ways to help lock-in pricing so that people can plan for the expenses they will have. By choosing our auto-refill program, you can save time and money because you lock in the lowest prices and receive your orders automatically. It is a great choice for anyone on a budget, and for people who are busy. You’ll never have to worry about renewing your medicine because it comes automatically.”
Your health can benefit, too. Getting your prescriptions delivered automatically can help you stick to your treatment plan. A study found those who opt for mail-order prescription fulfillment have fewer emergency room visits in part because they’re more likely to refill their prescriptions, as opposed to those who must remember to make time for a trip to the pharmacy to do so.
