(Atlanta, GA, August 7, 2023) InovCares has announced it has
entered a new relationship with Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, PBC (Cost
Plus Drugs). This new collaboration combines InovCares' revolutionary virtual
OB-GYN services, guiding women of color through fertility, childbirth,
breastfeeding, mental health, and other health needs, with the ability to offer
reduced-cost prescription medications through Cost
Plus Drugs. Mohamed Kamara, CEO and Founder of InovCares, says, "We
believe that every woman of color, regardless of her background, deserves
access to affordable healthcare, especially when it comes to essential prescription
medications. The rising cost of prescription medications has disproportionately
affected communities of color, including black maternity care. At InovCares, we
are proud to join forces with Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company to ensure that
cost doesn't become a barrier to receiving the care they deserve."
Cost Plus Drugs was
created on a foundational belief that every American should have access to
safe, affordable medicines. The company's goal is to dramatically reduce the
cost of medications and introduce greater transparency into how they are
priced. "We are excited to work with InovCares to bring lower prescription
drug prices to women and their families," said Alex Oshmyansky, CEO of
Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company. "Cost Plus Drugs and InovCares share
the goal of providing women and their families the lowest possible price for
their prescription medication. With Cost Plus Drugs, women and their families
can be confident they are getting a fair price and the convenience of
medication mailed directly to their homes."
