What MedPlus Pharmacy does

MedPlus Pharmacy is a privately and independently operated community pharmacy headquartered at 5130 Duke Street, Suite #2, Alexandria, Virginia, serving the Washington DC metropolitan area including Arlington, Bailey's Crossroads, Landmark, Pentagon City, Potomac, Alexandria, Huntington, and Rose Hill. The company dispenses prescription medications, offers specialty medications for chronic illness patients, and operates a home infusion therapy subsidiary (MedPlus Infusion Pharmacy) delivering IV therapies including anti-infective, enteral nutrition, hydration, IVIG, pain management, and total parenteral nutrition. Its core technology centers on strip packaging for medication adherence, supported by a Medication Management Program (MMP) that bundles in-home consultations, 24/7 pharmacist access, mobile pharmacy solutions for in-home vaccines, and free prescription delivery.

The business model is multi-stream: prescription fulfillment across most insurance plans (excluding Kaiser) with cash pricing benchmarked to Walmart; specialty medication access with co-pay assistance and financial counseling; professional home infusion services through the dedicated subsidiary; durable medical equipment sales; co-pay assistance programs; and 340B program partnerships with qualified hospitals and healthcare organizations, which generate 25-50% savings versus wholesale pricing. The customer base is a hybrid of individual patients (with a primary focus on seniors and chronic illness patients in the DC metro) and B2B relationships with 340B-eligible hospitals and a nationwide network of specialty pharmacy partners. Additional offerings include immunization, medication therapy management, a 24/7 emergency pharmacist line, and hard-to-find medication sourcing.

The pharmacy was founded in 2023 by individuals with over 25 years of collective pharmacy experience and is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no public funding rounds, and no parent company. The entity is small (1-10 employees per firmographic data) and operates primarily through a single physical location plus free delivery across the DC region. The company has no publicly disclosed management team, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents or trademarks, and no awards or regulatory actions on record.
