Try the GoodRX app on your phone
I lost my VERY good BC/BC policy, thanks to Obamacare more than quadrupling the premium
I can get 90 days of most of my meds for a fraction of what a 30 day refill costs without it
And it works with or without insurance. Just not if you’re on Medicare/Medicaid, as I understand it
Just put that app on my phone. Looks good for now !!
There is another program for those around Kroger and it’s affliates. I think it may be conjunction with GoodRX but not sure. You pay a yearly charge and many meds are free and or cheaper than Goodrx without it.
For example, some blood pressure medicines are free for a 90 day supply.
My wife uses GoodRX and is amazing how cheap she can buy prescriptions.
Another good place to check is scripthero.com. They seem to work in conjunction with some of the drug companies and their savings plans. Simple to check to see if they cover your drug. If you are on medicare you can use it for a particular drug in place of medicare.
Excellent service, I use their website. Maintenance Rx list $485, $14 or so with their coupon. Clearly regular economic rules are NOT in play here.

GoodRx?
Not exactly. There are some drugs that are not discounted by Good RX for those over 65 because of........dig this........state and federal laws. Note that you do not have to be on medicare, just over 65! The government is forcing the pharmacy to charge you more because of your age!
If you are paying cash, why the Hell does the effin government want you to pay more? It costs them nothing.
When the GoodRX coupon comes up, in the upper right hand corner it will say "inside RX" if it is one of those drugs. But....there is another quirk there. If you a switch to a different pack size and a different retailer you may well get the discounted price. IMPORTANT - with the phone app, there is a bug that sometimes does not show the "Inside RX" notation, but it does work on a computer.
It pays to call the # for GoodRX if you have any issues, they are very helpful and will call the pharmacy for you if needed.
I also order my synthroid (brand, not generic) from Northwestpharmancy.com because they charge a fraction of what it costs here, even with GoodRX.
