Questions people ask
What is a drug channel?
The chain of businesses a medicine passes through between manufacturer and patient — wholesalers, pharmacies, insurers, and benefit managers.
Why does the same drug cost different amounts at different pharmacies?
Different contracts, rebates, and benefit designs at each channel stop produce different counter prices — the explainers show how.
Is this financial or medical advice?
No. Content is educational; decisions about coverage or treatment belong with your insurer, doctor, or pharmacist.
