Brandi Glanville revealed medical bills relating to her facial disfigurement set her back $200,000 — and
“Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban’s pharmacy company through the PBM Princess is helping her lower the staggering cost.
Rachel Strauss, CEO of healthcare consulting firm PBM Princess, LLC, has been working with the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star to lower her medical costs and future medical costs with Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs, which offers medication at affordable prices.
“Rachel turned to us to help Brandi because we are the only truly transparent pricing pharmacy,” Cuban told Page Six exclusively. “Our price doesn’t change by city, state or date. With CostPlusDrugs.com, when you go to our website and type in the name of your medication, and it’s one of the thousands we carry, we show you our actual cost.

“Then we show you our mark up of only 15 percent, then there is a $5 fee for shipping. That’s it. That means our pricing is very often the lowest available. More importantly, because we are so transparent, Rachel and so many others trust us.”
Cuban, 67, started the company because he “wanted to change healthcare and the price of medications.”
“A drug can cost $20 at one pharmacy and $500 at another — and the reason is greed,” the Dallas Mavericks owner said. “There are pharmacy benefit managers and a few pharmacies that will charge whatever they can get away with.
“They know that CostPlusDrugs.com is still the only pharmacy that publishes a price list and charges everybody the same price for a medication.”

Strauss explained to Page Six how she was connected with Glanville, 53, to help with her finances.
Strauss told us, “We have been working with Brandi… something as simple as going to your pharmacy and asking for the last year of what you paid. We went through line item by line item all of her medications. I found there was tremendous discrepancy from one month to another for the same exact drug.
“In Brandi’s case, she’s taking what the pharmacy is telling her as a source of truth. We have to advocate for ourselves.”
The business owner continued, “We are working with the pharmacy to see what money is owed back to Brandi. If she would’ve went to Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus, there was as much as a 70 to 80 percent differential.
“Many of her drugs were between 29 to 30 dollars, on Cost Plus they were between 6 and 8 dollars.”
She added, “Brandi unfortunately was denied the care that she needed for her illnesses from the medical side. What’s even more unfortunate is she trusted the pharmacy side to also have her best interests – when clearly they did not. I was able in one click to find medications more than 75% less at Cost Plus.
“It is a shame we weren’t able to get these savings sooner – and she was forced out of pocket because people don’t realize that they can go to Mark Cuban’s company in a blink and have their script transferred.”

On Glanville’s “I Do, Part 2” podcast, she revealed the staggering amount she paid to figure out her breast implants were causing her facial disfiguration.
In the February episode, she revealed she began feeling sick about three years ago with symptoms from “brain fog” to pain in her joints to facial disfigurement.
She revealed she visited 21 doctors to seek a diagnosis.

“I’m telling you, $200,000,” she said on the episode. “I had insurance, but the people at my insurance — Kaiser, let’s just say — sucks.
“I was, like, paying out of pocket to see specialists, infectious disease doctors, you know, rheumatologists. Every doctor you can think of, I saw.”
The former Bravo star learned her breast implants were the root of her medical issues because her right implant had ruptured and leaked, resulting in silicone in her lymph nodes.
Glanville shared that she immediately started to feel better when she removed her implants.
