#1 Threat to Local Pharmacies: Below Cost Payments for Generic Drugs
Insurance payments for generic drugs that are below community pharmacies’ cost is the #1 issue threatening to put these pharmacies out of business. Fewer community pharmacies = fewer local jobs and fewer donations/support for local kids’ sports teams, charity or civic groups, and school groups. Below-cost payments also impact a patient’s access to critical medications and their local community pharmacy.
