Saving money on prescriptions
November 5, 2007I had a doctor’s appointment on Friday and I was telling her how irritated I was that the copay for my prescription had gone up to $40. I asked her if she could write me a three month prescription vs a month prescription with two refills. She said that regular pharmacies wouldn’t fill prescriptions like that but mail order ones would. In addition, she gave me one month’s worth of samples. So instead of paying $40 each month for four months, I pay $0 for the first month (sample) and $50 for the remaining three months (mail order). That’s a $90 savings. Not bad just for asking.
That is a great real-world tip. You never know what you can get by just asking.
