Prescription refilled and I was....

These prescription prices are getting ridiculous. I just got my birth control pills refilled today and the price had gone up to $43 a month. My insurance has a copay of $60 for brand names, so I was stuck with this price. I remember when these used to be $20 a month, and when I got them refilled in November it was $30. Someone out there is getting rich! I've checked other pharmacies and they're all quoting the $43/month price so it looks like I'm stuck anytime my gynecologist doesn't have samples available.

Prescription medications...sm

If you don't shop the price of your prescriptions with various pharmacies you should do so. I just checked around on a prescription that I take and I got a variance of up to $9 a month depending on which pharmacy would be filling it. Now that adds up in a hurry!

If you have a prescription mail order plan

utilize it for ongoing meds. We had been getting our meds filled monthly at our local pharmacy. I was trying to get better control of our money situation so tried the mail order pharmacy. I got 3 months of the same medication for the same amount of my co-pay for 1 month at my local pharmacy.

With all the national chains you can go on-line to check prices.
