Prescription drugs play a vital role in our health, whether you take them on a regular basis for a chronic condition or occasionally to deal with an illness.

Direct Path advocates have published a guide to assist patients with managing the high costs of prescriptions. “Consumer Tips For Finding the Best Price on Prescription Drugs” can be found on the HR portal’s homepage, under News.
