READ MORE.Many Americans who receive their drug coverage through Express Scripts or Caremark will wake up on January 1, 2014, to discover the medications they take are no longer covered by their insurance company. David Zimmer, President of The Canadian Pharmacy, has tips and suggestions for patients who find themselves in this predicament.
Winnipeg, Manitoba (PRWEB) November 20, 2013
Express Scripts and Caremark, two of the most prominent pharmacy benefits providers in the U.S., are planning to drop more than 50 popular brand-name medications from their formularies beginning January 1, 2014, report the New York Times and GoodRx. For the patients who rely on these medications to treat conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease and multiple sclerosis, this is worrisome news – especially since many of the medications being dropped do not have generic counterparts available in the United States. Some of these medications, particularly those used to treat multiple sclerosis, could cost patients several thousands of dollars out of pocket for a single month’s supply.
Even patients who think that they are not affected by these changes should double check their insurance plans because they may not realize that their medical coverage uses another company to provide pharmacy benefits. One group of people who will be heavily affected by these changes is active military, veterans and their immediate families. Prescription drug benefits for Tricare, the military’s insurance program, are handled by Express Scripts.
What can patients in this situation do to continue using the medications that their doctor has prescribed for them? David Zimmer, President of The Canadian Pharmacy, an online pharmacy based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has a few suggestions.
“First of all,” says Zimmer, “patients should check their coverage to find out whether they are affected by these significant changes. If you are in fact affected, schedule an appointment with your doctor to find out if an alternative medication is available that would provide you with the same health benefits as your current medication. If no other medication alternatives are available or you are concerned about the cost of your prescriptions, check the price of your medication on TheCanadianPharmacy.com to see how much money you can save ordering your medications through our company.”
For over 10 years, The Canadian Pharmacy has been meeting the needs of patients seeking high-quality medications without the hefty price tags found in U.S. pharmacies. Mr. Zimmer strongly encourages patients to give legitimate Canadian online pharmacies a try to find out more about the excellent customer service and convenience these services provide.

Manitoba pharmacies are not permitted to fill US physicians' prescriptions. They can only fill prescriptions issued by a physician licensed in a province or territory of Canada. M.Ph.A takes the position that it may be contrary to professional standards for a pharmacist to fill prescriptions by a physician, licensed in a province or territory of Canada, who has not established an acceptable patient physician relationship with you.
