Yes, and they can get away with a lot under third party payer plans, like Medco. Medco itself will give you drugs two or three times cheaper, in some cases, if you buy them directly from them rather than seeking reimbursment. I had a common prescription drug that I was getting from Walgreen's when suddenly the price more than doubled. I don't fully understand it, but it had to do with extending a prescription rather than having a long term prescription, or something of that nature. I asked Walgreen's and they told me just to get it from Medco, so I did.
