Visit billing vs pharmacy billing
The online visit is cash-pay through Bidwell Health. The medication is a separate pharmacy transaction, so the pharmacy controls whether insurance, coupons, or discount cards can be used.
How to compare pharmacy prices
Patients can ask the pharmacy for cash price, insurance price, and discount-card price. The lowest option may vary by medication and pharmacy.
What Bidwell controls
Bidwell Health controls the clinical review and prescription decision. The pharmacy controls medication price, stock, processing time, and accepted payment options.
