Amazon's PillPack, the online pharmacy service it acquired in 2018, has partnered with Prime Therapeutics and New Jersey health insurer Horizon Healthcare Services, the companies said Aug. 3.
Under the partnership, Horizon will provide its members with simplified PillPack sign up as well as estimated out-of-pocket costs before selecting their prescription fill option.
Members can also choose to receive 90-day supplies of their prescriptions from PillPack.
