Re: Prescriptions and cost

Holly, they do it all the time. That's why I look everything up before I

decide whether to do it with, or without, my insurance.

Jody,

I didn't think you were making a big deal out of it and I am glad

that you pointed it out. I will now be more aware. My final comment

is that we should be able to go to the pharmacist and say... " I want

this drug under my insurance, and this I will pay for without

insurance because it is cheaper that way. " It should not be

neccessary to go to another pharmacist... unless their prices are

better of course. And the pharmacist should advise us if the price is

lower without insurance. There... my final word.

Take care,

Katy.

Hi Katy,

I didn't mean it to sound like I wanted this to drop, have just been

surprised by all the responses to this topic this time around. We talked

about this some months back too but more quietly I think. I just forget how

many new people we are seeing on a weekly basis to this group, and they do

need to be aware of it.

I did tell my pharmascist to fill them without using insurance, and they

told me it was against the insurance policies to do that once the insurance

is in the system. I don't know if that is just with them, or how it works, I

got tired of being ripped off and jerked around with them so left them

altogether. They lose

It is no big deal for me to go to a second pharmacy for my meds, I can drive

from one end of the city line to the other end of the city line in about 7

minutes and that is allowing for about 7 traffic signals
