Have costs gone up? A few years back, I went to the drug store for an elderly lady from church, she had 7 scripts to pick up, (Medicaid), she gave me a $5 bill for the co pays. I just thought, well, I'll pay the rest.
She got change back from the $5.
Generic prescriptions can be filled at Walmart Pharmacy. Nowadays, there is no need to bring in a paper RX from the doctor. A doctor sends the prescription electronically to the pharmacy, so drugs are ready to be picked up by the patient upon arrival.
