Need Help With Medication Costs?
We always suggest patients shop for the best option when purchasing their medications which includes always asking a pharmacy for the cash self-pay price for a medication versus the price for one paid by the insurance company. Surprisingly, sometimes the cash price is less than your out-of –pocket insurance price.
Local Pharmacies
Walmart and Publix both provide a list of medications which they offer free or at a much-discounted rate, which is even better with a 90 day supply. Costco has a discount program for everyone (not just members) that frequently beats insurance prices.
Both offer medication price comparisons between various pharmacies, while Good Rx provides coupons if available.
