The generic prescription plan was introduced in 59 store pharmacieslocated in Central PA, and Northeast PA (including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre andthe Pocono's), New Jersey and Elmira, NY. This plan is now available in all118 Weis Markets in-store pharmacies. The plan was initially introduced in August in 59 Weis Markets pharmaciesin Harrisburg, Lancaster and York along with all of its in-store pharmacies inMaryland West Virginia. "We're extremely pleased with the strong customer response to our genericprescription plan and have decided to roll it out chainwide. Increasinghealthcare and prescription costs remain a huge issue for our customers andtheir employers. Our generic prescription plan offers strong savings andgives more choices to physicians and customers such as state and federalemployees who are often limited to mail order," said David J. Hepfinger, WeisMarkets President and COO. "Our 90-day generic prescription plan offers the best of both worlds: lowprices in a full service retail pharmacy, where patients overwhelming preferto have their prescriptions filled. Pharmacists in the retail setting areuniquely positioned to offer personal pharmaceutical care and medicationmanagement, something that's difficult to do with mail order," said JeffMaltese, Weis Markets Vice President of Pharmacy. Weis Markets' 90-Day Prescription plan includes the new generic drugAltace, which is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Theplan also includes generic drugs and antibiotics used to treat allergies,asthma, arthritis, cholesterol, diabetes and digestive ailments.
