El Dorado TrueCare Pharmacy Not all pharmacies are the same. Discover the TrueCare difference. Our Pharmacists

We are a locally-owned and operated pharmacy located in El Dorado, Kansas.

As the oldest and only home-owned pharmacy here, we take great pride in our work, our accuracy and our emphasis on excellent customer service. El Dorado TrueCare Pharmacists are Michael Bellesine, Jake Milbradt, Lyndsey Brouhard, Jennifer Clausing, and Dan Davis. Together, they have over fifty years of combined experience. "We take great pride in the level of service we provide each and every pati

ent who enters our doors," explains Michael Bellesine, owner and pharmacist. "As you drive to El Dorado TrueCare, we know you may pass several chain pharmacies. We know you may even ask yourself why you don't just go there on your way home. After all, those other chain pharmacies promise convenience and affordability," states Jake Milbradt, pharmacist. "We are glad that you have chosen us and that you know we not only promise convenience and affordability . . . we deliver what we promise." "Our patients constantly tell us how impressed they are with our exceptionally fast service," says Jennifer Clausing, pharmacist. "The average wait time for a prescription is about four minutes. We believe your time is valuable to you. And if it is valuable to you, it's valuable to us. And we know that, especially when you are not feeling well, you don't want to wait for a prescription that will help ease your pain." "El Dorado TrueCare's technology and staff support is unsurpassed by any other practice setting I have come across. I truly enjoy being able to take the time to actually talk to patients, and having multiple pharmacists and a large number of other employees gives me that opportunity. In most other pharmacies there is often only one pharmacist, and he or she really isn't able to spend the necessary time with patients. This difference really sets TrueCare apart." says Dan Davis, pharmacist.

Jayden's older brother Jarrett worked at our pharmacy a few years ago as an intern while he was attending pharmacy school. This is such an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations Jayden!

FROM MULVANE TO THE NFL.

What a story for former Mulvane Wildcat Jayden Price, who has earned a spot on the New Orleans Saints’ 53-man roster for the 2026 season.

Price was one of the most dynamic players in Kansas during his high school career, playing quarterback and defensive back for Mulvane. He finished with 3,359 rushing yards and 50 touchdowns while also passing for 4,536 yards and 51 touchdowns.

Despite that production, Price was an underrated recruit coming out of the Class of 2018.

He bet on himself.

Price (5’11” 185) went to North Dakota State, transitioned into a standout defensive back and return specialist and was part of three FCS National Championship teams. He appeared in 71 games for the Bison before beginning a professional journey that has included Atlanta, Hamilton in the CFL, Arlington in the UFL and New Orleans.

Nothing about the professional journey was guaranteed, either. Price went undrafted in 2024 and continued to fight for opportunities. In 2025 with Arlington, he recorded 29 tackles and 13 pass breakups while finishing second in the UFL in punt-return yards.

Now, at 26 years old, the former Mulvane Wildcat is on an NFL 53-man roster as a corner back.

From an underrated Kansas high school recruit to three national championships at North Dakota State to earning his place in the NFL.

Jayden Price is proof that where you start doesn’t determine where you finish.

We would like to thank KSN TV for their piece last night on the new Kansas law that regulates Pharmacy Benefit Managers. We have a lot of pharmacists from other states who follow our page, and they will tell you that Kansas is very lucky to have state legislators who were honest enough do the right thing and vote for this bill.

Oh, and we also need to publicly thank Dan for being the only TrueCare pharmacist brave enough to be on TV! Not all heros wear capes. 💚💙💚💙

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly signed a bill into law on Friday, establishing new regulations for pharmacy benefit managers to help lower healthcare costs and support local pharmacies.

Why are some prescription copays INCREASING after July 1st when a new Kansas law was supposed to LOWER prescription cost...
07/09/2026

Why are some prescription copays INCREASING after July 1st when a new Kansas law was supposed to LOWER prescription costs?

Here's a real example from our pharmacy.

We filled the exact same four prescriptions for one patient in June (before the new law took effect) and again in July (after the law took effect).

✅ The total cost of the prescriptions DECREASED by $71.39
❌ But the patient's total copays INCREASED by 92%!

How is that possible?

Beginning July 1st, Kansas enacted new protections that regulate Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), the middlemen that process and manage prescription drug claims for insurance companies.

Similar legislation has been proven to lower prescription costs in multiple states by:
-Preventing PBMs from artificially inflating prescription costs after paying pharmacies.
-Requiring PBMs to pass ALL manufacturer rebates through to health plans and employers.
-Prohibiting PBMs from paying their own pharmacies more than other pharmacies for the same prescriptions.
-Moving pharmacy reimbursement to a transparent pricing model that is much harder to manipulate.

While these reforms will reduce overall prescription costs, insurance plans are still able to determine many patient copays. That means some plans can increase what patients pay at the pharmacy counter even when the overall costs of prescriptions are going down.

Even before this law went into effect, we suspected that PBMs might purposely inflate prescription copays in an attempt to claim that this law was increasing costs and to create public opposition to this law. Even more, this new law decreases the hidden profits of PBMs and big insurance companies, and we have already seen attempts to offset this by shifting more costs over to patients.

Keep mind that this new law will result in considerable savings by eliminating hidden fees on prescriptions that are only seen behind the scenes. Several years ago, Butler County moved its employees to a transparent PBM that already operated under many of these same principles. The county has saved enough on prescription benefits to help keep employee health insurance premiums stable despite rising medical costs. That's exactly the kind of long-term savings these reforms are intended to create.

If your prescription copays suddenly increased after July 1st, ask your employer's Human Resources or Benefits Department:

"If this law is reducing the overall cost of prescriptions, why am I paying more?"

If more costs are being shifted to employees while overall prescription spending is decreasing, it may be time for your employer to evaluate other PBM or insurance options.

The prescription insurance system is incredibly complicated, and many employers don't realize how much these middlemen influence what they spend and what their employees pay. If your HR or Benefits Department would like help understanding these changes, we're happy to explain how the new law works and what questions they should be asking.

And lastly (and maybe most importantly), this new law is an important first step in regulating these prescription insurance companies. But this law will only be effective if it’s actually enforced. The Kansas Department of Insurance is now in charge of regulating Pharmacy Benefit Managers, and our state is set to elect a new Insurance Commissioner in November.

One of the candidates for Insurance Commissioner is heavily funded by big insurance companies. Not only did this candidate vote against regulating Pharmacy Benefit Managers, but he also did everything he could to sabotage this bill in every way possible. Kansas pharmacists are truly afraid that he will refuse to enforce this bill if he is elected as Kansas Insurance Commissioner.

The November election is closer than you think, and we need to start spreading the word that Senator Dinah Sykes needs to be elected as our next Kansas Insurance Commissioner. Please share this post and help us spread the word. We need to stop these giant insurance companies from playing games with our health and our bank accounts.
