The Springfield Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announced it has forged a partnership with BidRx, an online prescription program.
BidRx is a cutting-edge online prescription marketplace that allows consumers to shop online for prescription drugs, similar to airline and lodging pricing sites. Unlike other online sites, however, consumer prescriptions can be filled through local pharmacies with BidRx. All Vermont pharmacies are invited to participate.
BidRx links consumers with all those involved in the prescription drug marketplace - pharmacies, manufacturers, prescribers and payers - allowing them to choose the best drug, price, and pharmacy to meet their needs. This prescription program is designed to complement the statewide chamber health insurance plan but is also a solid stand-alone program, allowing chamber members with any health insurance company to participate.
Many consumers using the website today are realizing significant savings of 50 percent or more on their prescription drugs. Because of the unique capabilities of BidRx, employers not only save through lower prescription costs but also through unique plan designs designed to align incentives and encourage employees to make more cost-effective decisions. BidRx offers Vermont employers an innovative solution in the battle against the rising costs of prescription drugs and drug-benefit programs.
BidRx gives consumers the information needed about drug product choices and the cost of those choices in order to make more prudent decisions about their prescription drugs. And lower drug costs translate to lower overall health-care costs.
