Hey #IBD folks on generic drugs - check out the GI meds at @costplusdrugs (A PBC) - Canasa, mesalamine, esomeprazole available at reasonable prices. Hoping that budesonide and biosimilars (adalimumab, infliximab) are next. Fewer patients driving to Canada? costplusdrugs.com/medications/
for folks asking what is a PBC - Public Benefit Corporation - kiplinger.com/investing/esg/…
Prices per 30 day supply on GI drugs: 
Canasa price is better than @GoodRx (which is better than a lot of other options). Also give #GoodRx a look if you are price-shopping on expensive meds
Warning - note that @costplusdrugs does not take insurance - cash pay, out of pocket. This may still work if your copays are high, or you set up an HSA account
HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) are pre-tax accounts that roll over any extra $ to the following year - you can use to pay for meds, but only eligible if you have a high deductible health plan (HDHP). These are increasingly popular among #IBD patients in the US
An example of an HSA plan (explaining advantages) here: healthequity.com/learn/hsa
what is a HDHP? A health insurance plan with an annual deductible of at least $1400 for an individual or $2800 for a family (in 2022, adjusted annually). healthcare.gov/glossary/high-…
