SOME SPECIAL PROGRAMS TO HELP
Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Program
At Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, we offer hundreds of common (and often life-saving med-ications at the lowest possible price. We provide complete transparency on the cost of drugs that
patients know they are getting a fair price. As a public-benefit corporation, we prioritize our social mission of improving public health.
&
Our prices are the true cost to get each medication from the manufacturer to you. We cut out the
pharmacy middlemen and negotiate directly with manufactures to get the best possible price. Then,
we show you exactly how much you'll pay for us to keep our business running & how much it will
cost to prepare and ship your prescription. We do not accept insurance at this time because in most cases, even without insurance, our prices are less than what you would pay when using your insura-
nce at a typical pharmacy.
