Honeybee provides a way for people to easily access approved, affordable, generic medication options with a valid prescription.
The cost of medication can add up quickly, especially if you don’t have insurance coverage. For example, the average price of a common statin called atorvastatin is $1,101 / year retail, but $84 / year with a generic option through Honeybee.
Honeybee is an online pharmacy in the US that offers affordable medication by working with manufacturers to provide FDA-approved, non-patented drugs for as cheap as possible. They will ship the medication directly to the patient’s door for free.
New users can transfer their existing medicines to Honeybee or get a new prescription from their doctor or a telemedicine service. Once this has been accepted, they can place an order for their medication. The prescription is sent by first class shipping to the patient.
In the US, medication can be prohibitively expensive for some people. Honeybee’s founders had a family-owned pharmacy in California; they relished the community spirit but were disheartened by limited access to medicines for some people due to cost. They wanted to break down the cost-barrier by using online retailing benefits and therefore developed the platform. Easy, online access to generic alternatives can make following a treatment plan possible for many Americans. A system that could be adopted in many other countries where the patient has to be directly or needs medical insurance. Reducing healthcare costs within the USA is an ambition shared by many companies featured on Once Daily, such as ClickMedix and flat-fee mental health services such as MoodHealth.
