Generic medications constitute a bulk of prescriptions filled anywhere in the U.S. We have opted for a business model that is based on “dispensing fee-only” for generic medications. For brand and over-the-counter medications, we have streamlined our supply chain and profit margins such that we are able to offer highly competitive prices.

Simple. We find the best wholesaler source and add only 7% markup to the purchase price.

At this time, we only accept California Medicaid (known as Medi-Cal), however, other insurances may be added in the future. TIB Pharmacy is contracted with Medi-Cal. If you do not have Medi-Cal, you will have to pay out of pocket.

We pride ourselves on offering extremely low prices and full transparency in our pricing. To maintain these low prices, we pass the credit card processing fee directly to our customers. This fee is charged by the credit card companies for processing payments, and rather than raising our prices to absorb this cost, we choose to keep our prices as low as possible and only charge what is necessary to cover these external fees. This way, you get the best value, and our pricing remains straightforward and honest.

Refrigerated or insulated shipping refers to the transportation of temperature-sensitive medications that must be maintained at a specific temperature range to preserve the medications efficacy.

Temperature sensitive medications require special packaging and handling to maintain a consistent and controlled temperature range. This includes the use of temperature-controlled packaging materials, such as insulated containers and gel packs, and the need for expedited shipping methods to minimize exposure to temperature fluctuations.

Medications that require temperature-controlled shipping are those that are sensitive to heat or cold and can be affected by changes in temperature. This includes certain antibiotics, biologic products, insulin, and other hormone-based medications.

We have already negotiated the best price with our carrier to deliver medications to you and we are constantly working on new ways to lower the delivery cost even further.
