"I don't see much fat to trim."
Well, the obvious one is that Express Scripts probably isn't already sending you a package of other stuff every week or so to which a bottle of pills could be added at little or no increased cost, nor do they likely have the clout with shippers that Amazon does.
Yeah, not everyone gets an Amazon package every week, but enough people do that it's going to add up.
- dannyw 9y agoHow many people get weekly refills? I️ thought monthly would be a lot more efficient and common?
- phnofive 9y agoExpress Scripts pushes 90 day supply as long as insurance allows it, I assume for this reason.
- Turing_Machine 9y agoThat's not the point. It doesn't have to be weekly, or even monthly. Whatever the frequency is, Amazon is somewhat likely to already have a package headed to the customer within that interval (much more likely that a dedicated prescription store, certainly). The advantage is actually greater with less-frequent refills, as the probability of having another package they can piggyback on within an acceptable window becomes higher the less frequent the refills are.
