\u201cShark Tank\u201d star Mark Cuban\u2019s pharmacy company through the PBM Princess is helping her lower the staggering cost.<\/p>\n

Rachel Strauss, CEO of healthcare consulting firm PBM Princess, LLC<\/a>, has been working with the former \u201cReal Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d star to lower her medical costs and future medical costs with Cuban\u2019s Cost Plus Drugs<\/a>, which offers medication at affordable prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cRachel turned to us to help Brandi because we are the only truly transparent pricing pharmacy,\u201d Cuban told Page Six exclusively. \u201cOur price doesn\u2019t change by city, state or date.\u00a0With\u00a0CostPlusDrugs.com, when you go to our website and type in the name of your medication, and it\u2019s one of the thousands we carry, we show you our actual cost.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cThen we show you our mark up of only 15 percent, then there is a $5 fee for shipping.\u00a0That\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuban, 67, started the company because he \u201cwanted to change healthcare and the price of medications.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cA drug can cost $20 at one pharmacy and $500 at another \u2014 and the reason is\u00a0greed,\u201d the Dallas Mavericks owner said. \u201cThere are pharmacy benefit managers and a few pharmacies that will charge whatever they can get away with. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey know that\u00a0CostPlusDrugs.com\u00a0is still the only pharmacy that publishes a price list and charges everybody the same price for a medication.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strauss explained to Page Six how she was connected with Glanville, 53, to help with her finances. <\/p>\n

Strauss told us, \u201cWe have been working with Brandi\u2026 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. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn Brandi\u2019s case, she\u2019s taking what the pharmacy is telling her as a source of truth. We have to advocate for ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The business owner continued, \u201cWe are working with the pharmacy to see what money is owed back to Brandi. If she would\u2019ve went to Mark Cuban\u2019s Cost Plus, there was as much as a 70 to 80 percent differential.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of her drugs were between 29 to 30 dollars, on Cost Plus they were between 6 and 8 dollars.\u201d <\/p>\n

She added, \u201cBrandi unfortunately\u00a0was denied the care that she needed for her illnesses from the medical side. What\u2019s even more unfortunate is she trusted the pharmacy side to also have her best interests \u2013 when clearly they did not. I was able in one click to find medications\u00a0more than 75% less at Cost Plus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a shame we weren\u2019t able to get these savings sooner \u2013 and she was forced out of pocket because people don\u2019t realize that they can go to Mark Cuban\u2019s company in a blink and have their script transferred.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Glanville\u2019s\u00a0\u201cI Do, Part 2\u201d podcast<\/a>, she revealed the staggering amount she paid to figure out her breast implants were causing her facial disfiguration<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In the February episode, she revealed she began feeling sick about three years ago with symptoms from \u201cbrain fog\u201d to pain in her joints to facial disfigurement. <\/p>\n

She revealed she visited 21 doctors to seek a diagnosis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m telling you, $200,000,\u201d she said on the episode<\/a>. \u201cI had insurance, but the people at my insurance \u2014 Kaiser, let\u2019s just say \u2014 sucks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was, like, paying out of pocket to see specialists, infectious disease doctors, you know, rheumatologists. Every doctor you can think of, I saw.\u201d<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Glanville shared that she immediately started to feel better when she removed her implants. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brandi Glanville revealed medical bills relating to her facial disfigurement set her back $200,000 \u2014 and\u201cShark Tank\u201d star…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":609052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[20163,49,48,361,362,75,282,2716,5020,14982,11239,348],"class_list":{"0":"post-609051","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-brandi-glanville","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-celebrity-news","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-exclusive","15":"tag-mark-cuban","16":"tag-real-housewives","17":"tag-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills","18":"tag-reality-stars","19":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
