Re: Mail Order, was: Phoenix - Reyataz Needed

[Guest guest]

I hope someone can help with reyataz, i'd try to help, but i couldn't get it there any faster than his mail order pharmacy.

One note from all this. If you work the math, your insurance company Mail Order Service will ALWAYS (maybe 98%) be cheaper than walgreens for major meds. My insurance only covers a 30 day supply at a pharmacy, but 90 days from mail order (with 3 refills allowed, total one year), the mail order is always cheaper, it's usually easier, and it shows up at your door in a week. Just go to the website and click "refill" (well maybe a few more keystrokes). They usually send you a stick on label for the doc to do a new presription once a year. This does requires you to plan ahead, i usually plan 3 weeks. What i buy at stadscript are the inexpensive stuff, less expensive than copays at the mail order, usually antibiotics.

The mail orders can do this because they can negotiate a huge discount, more than even the pharmacy chains (sorry george c, but that's corporate america, screw us individuals). Its much cheaper for them to pay the discount than reimburse Walgreens, they want to you to use the mail order.

You gotta learn to fuck the system (i mean work the system).

Who is your insurer that switched to this new prescription plan? Is this Anthem, or another insurer?

The pharmacists lobby is finally activated and fighting this tooth and nail. They didn't respond to the plan changes implemented by a few insurers. But once they began losing huge chunks of their business each month, then they came to life. I guess not everyone believes in being proactive.

what mail order company do you use? When I google mail order pharmacies a bunch of cheezy looking ads pop up - makes me uneasy which ones are reputable? Thanks, Sam
