BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
MailMyPrescriptions.com™, America's first and only wholesale
pharmacy service, announced today that it has contracted with
AmerisourceBergen for a strategic pharmaceutical distribution
agreement. One of the leading pharmaceutical wholesalers,
AmerisourceBergen (NYSE: ABC) supplies Publix and Walgreens-Boots
Alliance. The agreement enables MailMyPrescriptions.com™ to
offer its members the same generic prescription drugs offered by
Publix and Walgreens, at the same price
MailMyPrescriptions.com™ buys the medications from
Amerisource Bergen.
The long-term agreement encompasses the distribution of low cost
generic pharmaceutical products. MailMyPrescriptions.com™
plans to begin dispensing medications purchased through
AmerisourceBergen in the coming weeks. The agreement also enables
MailMyPrescriptions.com™ to eventually offer branded and
over-the-counter health and pharmaceutical products to its
members.
"This is an exciting development in the growth of
MailMyPrescriptions.com™," said Santo J.
Leo, Founder/CEO of MailMyPrescriptions.com. "It's through
visionary partnerships like this that we can begin to bring cheaper
medications to millions of hardworking Americans, who are forced to
make life-altering choices regarding the affordability of their
healthcare."
Dedicated to helping the estimated 54 million Americans who pay
out-of-pocket for prescription medication,
MailMyPrescriptions.com™ is the first and only national
pharmacy service to pass its wholesale prices along to consumers-
with no mark-up. MailMyPrescriptions.com™ charges a low,
$5 monthly membership that enables
families can get the same medications dispensed by local retail
pharmacies at the same price that the pharmacy pays their wholesale
distributor, like Amerisource Bergen, for the medication. These
prices are often hundreds of dollars less than the list price
charged to consumers who have limited to no insurance coverage.
AmerisourceBergen beat out other competitors after a 6-month
long bidding process for the MailMyPrescriptions.com™
contract. "We felt after recent news regarding independent
pharmacies that are contracted with other providers being unable to
purchase the generic epi-pen through them, that AmerisourceBergen
best fits our mission of giving Americans access to affordable
prescription medication and we look forward to working with them
over the next few years," said Santo J.
Leo.
