October 18, 2012 -- ZoomCare announced today that it added new pharmacy dispensing services at each of its 12 Oregon neighborhood clinics. ZoomCare patients will now be able to get better quicker by taking their first doses of medication before leaving the clinics.
Furthermore, they’ll be able to save time by not having to drive to pharmacies and wait for prescriptions to be filled and then wait again to pay for them. Fifty percent of prescription medications are $10 or less and over eighty percent are less than $20. On average,
ZoomCare’s prescription medications are fifty percent less than large-scale pharmacy chains.
For instance, a Z-pak (Azithromycin) costs $15 at ZoomCare versus $32.49 at Walgreens and $29.99 at Fred Meyer. With the addition of the ZoomCare Pharmacy, each clinic now carries over 100 prescription and over-the-counter medications. ZoomCare does not prescribe or carry narcotic pain medications. “Dispensing cost-effective medications safely and conveniently is just one of the innovative ways we provide great healthcare to every ZoomCare customer.
Our patients are delighted they can now take their meds before they leave the clinic and get better faster,” said co-founder and Co-CEO Dave Sanders, M.D. ZoomCare has no relationship with the pharmaceutical industry and prohibits pharmaceutical sales representatives and advertising from its clinics.
