Clinical Consultant Pharmacist (#566)
About CivicaScript:
CivicaScript was created in 2020 in partnership with Civica and numerous Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations to bring affordable versions of common but high-priced generic medicines to market. Our research showed that we could manufacture and distribute essential generic medicines for a fraction of the price many consumers currently pay.
CivicaScript is bringing unprecedented transparency to the drug supply chain to make quality generic medicines affordable and available for everyone. A not-for-profit, limited liability company, CivicaScript is committed to the principles of providing affordable, essential generic medicines to promote the social welfare and health of the community.
