Hi Insurance Mom Family,
OK, let’s talk prescriptions. But Mom… they’re so expensive! I know, sweetie. The Insurance Mom hears you.
Yet another (un)intended consequence of the Affordable Care Act… formulary shrinkage. The formularies are the lists of drugs your insurance company covers – generic and brand name. Most people just pay up at the pharmacy and don’t know they can actually shop around for better prices. Just because you have health insurance doesn’t mean you’re getting the best price!
To help you along the way, we’ve written a blog series we call …
“The Insurance Mom’s Guide to Better Living
Through (Cheaper) Chemistry.”
This FIVE part series walks you through money saving tips & tricks from the moment the doctor writes the script to the moment you pick it up at the pharmacy. Keep tuning back for the next five Fridays to learn to speak Rx.
As an intro, click the hyperlinks for these great articles from the website, GoodRX and another one from Consumer Reports.
In the meanwhile, talk to me! What are your insurance concerns for the coming year?
