Hux has owned Pickerington Pharmacy, which takes nearly every kind of insurance, since 2016. For some drugs, especially name-brand medications without generic alternatives, the insurance pharmacy, Pickerington, will most likely be the better bet. For other drugs, particularly those that have recently gone generic, it will be the all-cash pharmacy, Freedom. Or is it the noninsurance world?”For Kitchen, a retired registered nurse with arthritis and fibromyalgia, it was the noninsurance world of Freedom Pharmacy. By cutting out the middlemen, Freedom Pharmacy is far cheaper to operate.
