They bypass the people who sell drugs to existing pharmacies by operating their own D2C pharmacy themselves.
Instead of:
Pharma co -> Distribution -> Pharmacy -> You
It's:
Pharma co -> Cost Plus -> You.
Cost plus is still a pharmacy by definition.

Truepill has a team of accredited pharmacists who will ensure your medication is safe and delivered to your doorstep on time." Oh, and guess who owns most of TruePill??? Hint - https://www.optumventures.com/portfolio https://www.optumventures.com/portfolio There is very little new in the PBM/Pharmacy world from what I've seen, just more layers of redirection and subterfuge :)
