Jed Lewis is an innovative pharmacist that owns four pharmacies in Nebraska.  But Lewis is doing something remarkable!  By working with doctors and incorporating a line of "uniquely formulated" branded generics he has found a way to increase his gross profit by thousands of dollars.  The company he works with is FH2 Pharma and in this episode he tells how he met the company's local sales rep and then started calling on doctors, with suggestions for using the new product line with specific patients, one's that would benefit most of the unique formulations.  He shares that for nearly two years now he has found the program to be beneficial in two ways; one the products provide an unusually high reimbursement from all the major PBM's.  But, because he visits the doctors and "details" the drug, he has learned how to get-in to see them and in doing so he is picking up a lot of new business as the doctors have come to know him and know he'll take good care of their patients.  This is a must listen episode.
