What is the Northwest Prescription Drug Consortium?

In 2006, the Washington Prescription Drug Program joined with the Oregon Prescription Drug Program to create the NW Prescription Drug Consortium. The NW Prescription Drug Consortium was created to allow state agencies, local governments, businesses, labor organizations, and uninsured individuals to pool their purchasing power to get bigger discounts on prescription drugs.

What is ArrayRx?

In 2022, the NW Consortium rebranded as ArrayRx. Visit ArrayRx Solutions to learn more.
