Traditional USA-based mail-order pharmacies generate their huge profits by a "bait and switch" process. Patients are lured in by the promise of low prices for some popular brands. These "discounts" are recovered by charging higher prices for generic prescriptions and by switching patients to alternative drug brands that the mail order pharmacy can buy cheaper.

Expedite-Rx protects benefit plans and plan members from this ploy. Your plan’s USA network’s generics prices are very competitive, so the claims processor does not allow the International pharmacy to fill prescriptions for generics or other drugs that can be purchased cheaper at a USA network pharmacy. In fact, there is a list of Qualified Brand-Name Drugs and drug strengths that the International pharmacy is allowed to fill.

Check the Prescription Price Comparison screen to see if your medication is on this basic list. Compare the import price with the average Usual and Customary Price and the discounted Network price for your prescription.
