Simple & Affordable: How SesameRx Works
To qualify for $5 prescriptions, patients need only to schedule an appointment with a doctor, specialist, or health care provider of their choice from within the Sesame superstore. If the visit results in a prescription, the patient will send an email and text directly after to complete the purchase. Sesame will send medication directly to the patient within four business days of shipping – with free delivery.
Sesame offers patients a full scope of medical servicesļ¹£telehealth, medical specialties, and in-person consultsļ¹£all for as low as $25 per visit. The Sesame superstore features thousands of health care providers across more than 80 specialties with coverage in all 50 states.
While most pill-based medications start at just $5 for 30 pills, the final price you pay depends on your medication and how your doctor wrote your prescription. For example, if your medication costs $5 for 30 pills and your doctor prescribed 45 pills, you’ll be charged $7.50 at checkout ($5/30 pills * 45 pills prescribed.)

Healthcare Consumerism and Online Pharmacies | The SesameRx Advantage
In the era of digital technology, consumerism in healthcare means patients demand the same kind of seamless digital experience they get when dealing with other service-oriented industries. The idea of healthcare consumerism is to empower patients to be involved in their health care decisions throughout every step of the patient journey. Telehealth technologies, tools, and services are becoming a vital component of the health care system.Ā Digital tools that facilitate innovative methods and modalities to improve health care, enable lifestyle change, and create efficiencies are progressing quickly.Ā Digital health technologies and tools are long-term investments that will net great returns.Ā
ConvenienceĀ has become the new currency. Over the past decade, consumers have grown accustomed to a seamless digital experience. Booking appointments, completing preregistration, and making payments online is the new baseline, setting up healthcare expectations similar to other service sectors. At the same time, health care consumers (patients) have taken a more active role in educating themselves and directly managing their health.Ā The digital evolution has moved healthcare into a more marketplace-centric mindset, with health systems shifting their strategies to create a more consumer-driven experience, creating a more active patient engagement environment.
Sesame is changing the health care buying experience by making it ‘radically normal’. SesameRx extends that mission to the pharmacy.Ā Shopping for health care, including prescription drugs, should be as easy as booking travel online.Ā Convenience and choice with understandable, transparent prices.
