PCA Rx - About Us

PRESCRIPTION AFFORDABILITY

We Focus on What Matters

At PCA Rx our only focus is on the patient. It is our job to make sure every patient can afford their prescription when it is prescribed. We advise patients on how to be better pharmacy consumers and to always go to the less costly method. That is what makes us the most unique PBM in the industry.

Our concern is about the patient being able to afford a prescription they were just handed. We don’t determine what is affordable, the patient does. That is the problem with healthcare today, everyone wants to say they have affordable healthcare. What is affordable? Only the patient at that moment of purchasing time can tell you what is affordable. It is our job to clinically advise them and assist them when that time comes. We aim to make better consumers out of our members.
