HealthSmart also accepts most insurance plans, consistent with what other pharmacies accept. As far as cost is concerned, those with prescription insurance pay the same at HealthSmart that they would pay elsewhere.

For those individuals without prescription insurance, HealthSmart matches prices that other pharmacies offer. "Pricing should not be an issue when you choose where to fill your prescriptions," insists Doug.

HealthSmart Pharmacy is constantly trying to improve, giving them an edge in the competitive pharmaceutical market. There is good news for local Medicare and Medicaid patients- HealthSmart is Medicare and Medicaid accredited, meaning they have the right to bill Medicare or Medicaid for things like walkers, nebulizers, inhaled medicines, and diabetic supplies. Most pharmacies are losing their right to bill to Medicare and Medicaid because it is a costly and time consuming process to become Medicare accredited.

Medicare and Medicaid patients are now looking elsewhere to fill their prescriptions and get the supplies they need. HealthSmart Pharmacy is able to meet the needs of Medicare and Medicaid patients. As for other future plans, Doug says "we will continue to grow, and do everything the same way we always have," a marketing plan that has clearly worked well so far.
