Mail-order pharmacy

What is Mail-order pharmacy?

Mail-order pharmacy fills by post, usually in 90-day supplies, generally through the plan's PBM and generally at a lower copay for maintenance drugs.

GLP-1s shipped this way need refrigerated handling and a working cold chain, so ask any seller about it, not only an insurer.

GLP Watchdog writes these definitions from FDA labels and peer-reviewed PubMed literature.
