Prime Therapeutics is challenging traditional thinking in the PBM industry with its new MedsYourWay offering. This new shopping experience under MedsYourWay gives participating Blue Plans’ members a customer-centric home delivery prescription option using Amazon Pharmacy paired with an integrated MedsYourWay prescription discount card administered by Inside. Purchases of prescribed and covered medications automatically count toward member out-of-pocket maximums. Prime Therapeutics is the first PBM to announce this innovative home delivery option in the marketplace.
Prime Therapeutics is uniquely positioned to offer a variety of solutions; it is not locked into offerings governed by one relationship. Other PBMs may want to drive toward their owned home delivery option, but Prime Therapeutics is able to offer what is most cost-effective and convenient for its health plan clients and their members.
MedsYourWay represents channel independence and an unbiased approach in identifying the best consumer solutions that allow Blue Plan members easy access to low-cost medications. The first MedsYourWay offering for home delivery using Amazon Pharmacy represents how Prime Therapeutics does business with its Blue Plan partners.
