CINCINNATI and TACOMA, Wash., June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --HealthWarehouse.com, Inc. (HEWA), a leading VIPPS*-accredited retail mail-order pharmacy and Northwest Physicians Network, a physician-led independent practice association consisting of nearly 500 private practicing physicians in the Seattle-Tacoma, Washington area have partnered to provide patients in the Northwest Physicians Network access to among the lowest prices for generic medications in the United States.

"As one of five areas we have targeted to reduce costs and improve patient experience, generic prescribing is one of the most important for us," said Patricia Briggs, CEO of Northwest Physicians Network.
