Must be nice. I can get my meds once a month for $10 with the manufactures discount at the pharmacy, or 90 days at $110 a month through our crappy mail Rx policy that won't do the discount.
SLIDE WARNING:
It’s really strange, if the Dr. writes for 1 month, you can’t get a refill until the final week of the month, because the insurance won’t pay.
But they will pay for a 3 month supply as long as that’s the script, and I don’t have to use the mail order for it. Found out by accident. Cardiologist asked me if I wanted the script for 1 month or 3. It was a trial basis Rx, so I thought he meant try it for one month or longer.
I said 3 thinking I’d get it filled for a month and then refilled if it worked. When I picked it up, it was 3 months. Costs the same as one month times 3. So I just made sure to get it for 3 months with a year’s worth of refills from then on.
The FQHC pharmacy is only for FQHC patients, and they have the best rates in town-so I use them for non-insurance stuff.
finally got my tricare all set up and went the other day and got a whole bunch of meds for nothing, thank God....I have Kaiser Permanente and for some reason they would refuse to bill tricare and I ended up paying a small, but still substantial deductible....not anymore....
