As wonderful as old books can be, they can also create a physical challenge to those who work with these treasures. Such was the circumstance faced recently by a bookstore owner who had been dealing with a slow-building medical emergency that was threatening to become a chronic condition. A trip to the doctor and a chest x-ray concluded that they were suffering from a respiratory infection. Medications and a follow-up x-ray were prescribed to prevent the bookseller’s condition from escalating into pneumonia. Unfortunately, the original doctor visit and x-ray had tapped out this uninsured bookseller’s funds. Luckily, they had heard about Binc and knew they could call for help.
Binc was able to steer the bookseller to GoodRx where the price of the medications was reduced from more than $600 to less than $200. After Binc covered the needed medications and the cost of a follow-up x-ray, the bookseller is on the mend and continues running one of the only independent bookstores in their city.
