Yes! Investor Mark Cuban and CEO Dr. Alexander Oshmyansky strongly believe that every American should have access to safe, affordable medicines.

For now, we only offer a set amount of medications. To see all medications we currently offer, please go to costplusdrugs.com/medications. We will be expanding this list regularly so if you don't see your medication, please sign up for our newsletter to be updated when we add new medications.

You can reach out to us via the form on the Contact Us page.

The retail price listed on our website is an average of retail prices across other pharmacies that is sourced from third-party data. This information is published at the time we add the medication so may not reflect current market prices.

We calculate our 15% markup by multiplying the price we pay for the medication by 0.15. This gives us the markup we add to the original price.

For example, if the medication costs us $50, the markup would be $50 x 0.15 = $7.50. We then add that $7.50 to the original $50 plus any pharmacy labor and shipping fees.

We are working with select groups to give you additional options to pay for your prescriptions. However, the price of your prescription will always be less than or equal to the Cost Plus Drugs non-insurance price with standard shipping. Working with these groups allows claims to be submitted to your prescription insurance plan which could possibly apply towards your personal deductible or out of pocket maximum and clinical profiles. Your insurance provider may also provide clinical management for the medications you take. By having your claim sent to your insurance provider, they can better manage your condition.

Yes, parents or guardians can now add their dependents under 18 to their Cost Plus Drugs account. In some states, we need permission from the dependent once they get to a certain age.

In some states, dependents must give consent for you to manage their prescriptions once they reach a certain age. The age at which this requirement begins varies by state. About a month before they reach this age, they’ll be notified to grant permission. If they do not provide consent, you will no longer be able to access their prescription information.

When your dependent is close to the age requiring consent, we’ll notify you in your Cost Plus Drugs account. To continue managing their prescriptions, they must grant permission. We’ll email them instructions to verify their identity and set up their own account. If they approve, their account links to yours. If not, you will no longer be able to access their prescription information.

You can add your dependent in two ways: 1. Go to 'Prescription Manager' and find the 'Add Family Member' button. 2. Go to your account settings and find 'Family & Other Users'. You'll need to enter your dependent's information and health details. You can only add dependents under 18.

No, there's no limit to how many dependents under 18 you can add to your account.

No, dependents under 18 can't have their own login for Cost Plus Drugs. They need be added to a parent's or guardian's account. Once they reach the age of consent and give you access, they can create their own login, but it will stay linked to yours.

Yes, once your dependent reaches the age of consent and gives you access, they can take it away at any time. They can do this through their own account, or customer service can help.

Each prescription is tied to one person—you or your dependent. You’ll see the name and initials next to each prescription and can filter by person. You can only order prescriptions for one person at a time, so you can’t place an order for yourself and your dependent at the same time

If you have access to your dependent’s account, you can see their prescriptions and order history. In the 'Prescription Manager' and 'Orders' sections, you can choose to see your information or your dependent’s. You'll also see labels that show whose prescriptions you're looking at.

Yes, your dependent can have their own insurance information if we accept their insurance. When you pay, you can choose which saved card to use. You can also save different addresses for your dependent.

Yes, as long as you have permission to manage their account, you'll get alerts for their prescriptions, like you do for your own. We'll email you about refills and order updates.
