12 Dear Doctor, Your patient, John Doe, is interested in reducing their prescription medication costs. Rx Savings Solutions is a company founded and managed by Pharmacists with one goal in mind: to save our customers money on their prescription medications without ever sacrificing care. Your patient s employer has partnered with Rx Savings Solutions to help achieve prescription medication savings. Our goal is to work with you to provide potential savings options that make the most sense for your patient. Our team of licensed pharmacists has evaluated a number of cost-saving strategies to minimize the financial burden of your patient's current prescription regimen. We hope these alternatives will also improve compliance, thereby maximizing the efficacy of the medications prescribed. Our team of pharmacists sometimes suggests the utilization of generic preparations and therapeutic interchanges to different drugs within a particular class to minimize costs. As the physician, however, we realize there may be many reasons why a particular drug has been selected. We ask for your consideration in evaluating the cost-benefit advantage of our less expensive alternative(s), with the potential financial and compliance gains in mind. We have provided your patient some suggestions on how to achieve prescription medication savings and your patient can provide you copies of these suggestions for you to review and consider. DOCTOR S LETTER TO OBTAIN A NEW PRESCRIPTION (IF REQUIRED) As part of your patient's health care team, we appreciate your review of our cost-saving recommendations.
