Why Mental Health Support Shouldn’t Come with Financial Stress

For many Americans, managing anxiety or depression with medication is a necessity—not a luxury. But the price of common prescriptions can be a barrier. That was the case for Carlos, a 28-year-old IT technician, who was paying nearly $30/month for his Wellbutrin prescription.

Skipping meds or stretching doses wasn’t ideal—but it felt like the only option. Until his employer introduced ScriptCo through The CHAMP Plan™ (Section 125 plan).

What Makes ScriptCo a Smart Solution

The First and Only Membership-Based, At-Cost Pharmacy

ScriptCo is changing the game for employees and employers alike. Here’s how:

• No pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)
• No hidden fees, markups, or copays
• Employers pay a flat, quarterly membership fee

Real-World Savings: The Wellbutrin Example

Here’s how ScriptCo helped Carlos:

• Retail cost via GoodRx: $27.73/month
• ScriptCo cost: $1.38/month
• Annual savings: Over $311

That’s a serious difference—enough to turn financial stress into lasting peace of mind.

Why This Matters: Mental Health & Medication Affordability

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults live with a mental health condition—and access to affordable treatment is critical. When cost is a barrier, outcomes suffer.

ScriptCo helps remove that barrier. For employers, it’s a win-win: healthier employees and reduced turnover.
