Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Co. announced a new partnership Jan. 9 with startup insurance provider Sidecar Health.
As part of its model, Sidecar Health allows its members to fill prescriptions at any pharmacy based in the U.S. Expanding these offerings to also allow members to fill with Cost Plus Drugs may allow members to "receive more money back than at a traditional pharmacy," due to Cost Plus' unique pricing model, a Jan. 9 news release states.
Like Cost Plus Drugs, the payer's mission aims to bring more transparency and easy-to-understand pricing models to members.
Ultimately, their shared goal is eliminating middlemen and administrative complexities to save consumers money, according to the release.
