Trinity Behavioral Health

We’re going to deviate slightly from our normal posts. Before we begin, I want to state that we’re doing this due to the struggle we’ve seen lately with families and individuals being able to pay for their medications. These medications are critical to the overall quality of life and – in some cases – the extension of life for not only our clients but their family members and friends.

We’ve seen the profits of pharmaceutical companies balloon over the past decade. Billions of dollars have flowed into their coffers while struggling families have been forced to make hard and damaging choices concerning buying needed meds, or – in some cases – paying rent. We’re not going to dig into this, because that is not what our purpose and mission are for Trinity Behavioral Health. However, supporting the community and people at large is our mission and purpose. To that extent, we have recently discovered an amazing option for those on a budget – or people who are just cost-conscious – and want a break from the exceedingly exorbitant cost of prescription drugs. We are in no way, shape, or form endorsed, affiliated, or financially compensated by this company or any of its leadership. The company is, www.costplusdrugs.com

CostPlus deals only with generic medications, and they currently do not accept any insurance, but you can use your FSA or HSA account to pay for the prescriptions. When you consider the extremely low costs compared to what you could pay even with insurance, this may be a viable option for those struggling to keep up with rising healthcare costs.

For example, Tamiflu normally runs about $96 to $115 per prescription. Through Cost Plus Drugs, you can purchase the generic version called Oseltamivir for $3.60 – that is a huge savings! The company also has generics for Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, and Zoloft as well as hundreds of other pharmaceutical categories. The information for how to register and what they offer is located on their website.

The company is associated with investor Mark Cuban and CEO Dr. Alexander Oshmyansky. Fulfillment is handled by Truepill and there is a $5 to $15 charge for shipping. You can read their Mission Statement and see the cost breakdown of each supported medication on their website.

Again, we don’t endorse, nor are we supported by, this company, but we do recognize the stress many families have with meeting their medical bills and provide this as a resource to consider.
