Total Care Pharmacy is the Number One Canadian Pharmacy for U.S. Citizens, Cities and States

CALGARY (PRWEB) October 15, 2006

Mr. Lewis Jorgenson, Vice-President, of one of the most recognized and accomplished mail order pharmacies in Canada, Total Care Pharmacy, (http://www.crossborderpharmacy.com) was happy to hear that the FDA has made a decision to stop seizing prescription medications mailed from Canada, and for allowing U.S. citizens to bring up to 90-day supply of prescribed medicines home into the U.S.

“This is great news for a lot of our customers”, Mr. Jorgenson stated. “Over the recent months our customers have had to deal with the threat of their medications being seized and the risk that this poses to their health if they did not get their medications. Not only was this a risk to their health but many of our customers were telling us that they could not afford to buy the medication in the U.S., despite Medicare Plan D, and that we were their only hope for getting safe and affordable medications.”

“It used to be that we only dealt with individuals from the U.S. ordering prescription medications from our pharmacy, because they could save up to 70% on their brand name prescriptions; but now we also deal with many different cities and states because they too recognize the cost savings for their benefit plans when they get their employees to purchase their medications from us. In fact, we have been successful 100% of the time in securing relationships with these cities and states. This is primarily because of the cost of our prescription medications, the quality processes that we have implemented at our pharmacies, and also because we are one of the only pharmacies that functions as a full PBM;” Mr. Jorgenson stated.

“We have heard that a recent Wall Street Journal Poll showed that 80% of Americans support allowing people to import prescription drugs, and that 4 out of 5 Americans agree that the law banning pharmaceutical imports is intended to protect drug companies’ profits, - yet the FDA refuses to offer U.S. citizens global access to safe and affordable medicine. But perhaps the recent move by the FDA is a step in the right direction to help U.S. citizens who can’t afford their medications and who have been disillusioned by some of the pitfalls of Medicare Plan D and the doughnut hole.” Mr. Jorgenson stated.

“We have had a lot of U.S. citizens calling us lately because they have entered the doughnut hole and because it is nearing a time when they must renew their Medicare Plan D for the New Year. Many of them are still confused by Medicare Plan D and some were unhappy that it did not provide them with the savings they had expected. In fact, we have many customers that are now comparing using our Rx Discount Card and ordering from our pharmacy as a better solution for them in comparison to Medicare Plan D”. Mr. Jorgenson added.

Last year, http://www.crossborderpharmacy.com implemented their “Freedom Benefit Card”, a discount Rx card. They are one of the only Canadian mail order pharmacies that assist U.S. citizens in purchasing drugs at local U.S. retail pharmacies, with savings of as much as 85% on the cost of generic drugs.

“The best savings our customers can realize for all their medication needs are by using our mail order pharmacy for their brand name prescriptions and using our Freedom Benefit Card at their local U.S. retail pharmacy for their generic name medications.” Mr. Jorgenson stated. “We are also very proud of the fact that we are the most recognized mail order pharmacy in Canada for dealing with cities and states, and we believe that this gives our customers a certain level of comfort as well, as all of these cities and states have inspected our pharmacy and given us their approval.”

“We strongly believe in customer service and expanding our products. In fact, we are looking to become a full health service provider in the New Year and will be offering a discount health plan which will include dental, vision, and other services as well.” Mr. Jorgenson stated.
