Lisinopril is the most prescribed ACE inhibitor in the U.S., taken daily for high blood pressure and heart failure. Employees fill it every month for life. Through StraightLineRX, covered employees pay $0 at the counter, no copay, no deductible.
Lisinopril is an ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. It works by relaxing blood vessels so the heart can pump more efficiently. It is also used to slow kidney damage in people with diabetes.
Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, and lisinopril is one of the first-line treatments. It is taken once daily, indefinitely. In any company with more than a handful of employees, multiple people are filling lisinopril every month, often alongside other chronic-condition medications. StraightLineRX covers it at $0.
Generic lisinopril is inexpensive at retail, $10–$30/month for most doses. But employees on high-deductible plans pay full price until their deductible resets each January. For employees taking multiple blood pressure medications, the combined monthly cost can be significant.
More importantly, medication adherence is the single biggest factor in blood pressure control. When cost becomes a barrier, even a small one, employees skip doses or split pills. That directly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, and drives up long-term health costs for employers.
StraightLineRX eliminates the cost entirely for enrolled employees, routing fills outside your group insurance plan, meaning no claims on your plan and no deductible spend, because covered fills are intercepted before they ever hit your books.
StraightLineRX is an employer-sponsored prescription benefit powered by Liviniti, an established national pharmacy benefit manager (formerly Southern Scripts) that has operated for 15 years and serves more than a million people across the US. These are the same FDA-approved medications your employees already fill, dispensed by licensed pharmacists at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and 65,000+ other pharmacies nationwide. Nothing about the medication changes. What changes is the price.
The benefit costs employers $25 per employee per month, a flat fee covering the entire workforce and their households. Many employers save more than that in reduced prescription spend in the first month alone.
Employees cannot sign up for StraightLineRX individually. The company enrolls the whole team at once, and every employee and their household gets access immediately.
