Here’s PART THREE: WORK THE PHARMACY!

in our series we call . . .

“The Insurance Mom’s Guide to Better Living

Through (Cheaper) Chemistry”

We learned the importance of knowing your plan in PART ONE.  We learned how to advocate with your doctor for cheaper prices in PART TWO.  This week, we’re focusing on how your pharmacist can help!

 

PART THREE: WORK THE PHARMACY!

 

Wheel & Deal!  Ask for a discount.   Mention that you found the drug cheaper somewhere else (or online), and see what they say.

 

Buy In Bulk!   Pay a cheaper copay by getting a 90 day supply when you use the mail order option (aka Home Delivery).  Genius!

 

Skip Chains!  Big chain pharmacies tend to charge more.  Go to your local mom-and-pop pharmacy.  Check out this cool chart from Consumer Reports which shows the difference in price.
