Set her up for mail order/express scripts. The new prices became effective in October 2011 with generics rising from $3 to $5, brands from $9 to $12, and non-formulary from 22 to 25 at retail outlets. If you use mail order,the generics are free until 2016 and the copays are lower on brand names. Per 90 days, for brand name formulary drugs is $9 by mail order versus $36 at the local pharmacy.
That is what my Mom's are, so I will have to check out the mail order express scripts over CVS.. Thanx for the info. With gas and groceries through the roof, I hated it when her co-pays jumped, too.
