Cuban’s drug company announced on Thursday it is partnering with pharmacy benefit management company Purchaser Business Group on Health—expanding the employer-provided health care program by allowing Americans to sign up through its subsidiary, EmsanaRX Plus, for low-cost drugs offered by Cuban’s company.

Through the program, customers must request a prescription from a U.S.-based provider in order to purchase medication from its website, while employers can now use Emsana RX as a supplement to existing health benefits packages for lower-cost drugs.

Rather than working through major insurance providers, Cuban’s company, which offers more than 100 generic medications, uses a fixed 15% mark-up and a $3 pharmacist fee, boasting to eliminate the middleman and have no hidden costs.

Cuban, who sold his internet radio company Broadcast.com to Yahoo! for $5.7 billion in 1999, បានចាប់ផ្តើម the low-cost pharmaceutical company last January. One month later, it applied for a building permit for an $11 million drug រោងចក្រ​ផលិត in Texas. Since the company does not process insurance claims, Cuban said the cost of medication through the company is less than the cost patients are paying in co-pay or a deductible through a traditional healthcare provider, he said, speaking to CBS News in February. He told Axios in January, “not everyone sets the goal of being the lowest cost producer and provider.” Prescription drug costs continue to surge in the U.S., where people pay the most for prescription drugs than any other country, យោង​ទៅ​តាម the federal Department of Health and Human Services.
