 Scooters Savior
   
Location: "Si Fi" Ville | After a recent incident, trying to get a prescription filled at two different chain pharmacies, one didn’t want to fill but price was under $10, other would fill it but price was $87.
So I began digging... and what an eye opener. For example: Some insurance plan copays on drugs are more expensive than paying cash, little nasty secrets called “claw backs”, then gags where some pharmacists can’t tell you things like there are cheaper options etc.
I could go on and on about what I found but instead I ask that everyone look at which states have banned gags, claw backs, or both. Check your state.
Also, there is a site called Good RX. You can price check lowest price for a drug in your area, and coupons offered, and average price charged for the drug along with substitutions.
Lastly, there are several questions to ask your pharmacist, always ask what there straight cash price is, and options, same as someone with no insurance. You will be shocked that many times it’s cheaper.
Just trying to save you guys some money!
Happy barrel racing!!!

| This has been on the nightly news a few times. Amazing how crooked it can be. I live very close to the Mexican boarder and you can walk 200 foot and get same drugs for a fraction of the cost. |
