Often CASH IS KING when getting your Rxs filled at a local independent


 

Just today a patient brought over 2 prescriptions from #cvs. Their copay WITH INSURANCE was $24 & $28 respectively for #90 of each medicine. My price WITHOUT insurance is $20 each for #100 tablets. Not only was she paying a monthly premium of $100s of dollars but her cost at point of sale is more expensive than it would be WITHOUT insurance. If you’re not diabetic having pharmacy insurance is a WASTE OF YOUR $$. ( also she waited 45 minutes whereas my average wait time is 5-10 minutes)

  1. is only

  2. I just did a search and good rx used at publix supermarkets is on $14.55 for the atorvastatin 20 mg 90 pills!

  3. find me an independent pharmacist that will actually fill my fentanyl patches and for the same price as a co-pay without insurance. Then, I’ll say insurance is a waste. For now, I think this pharmacist is grossly over-generalizing.
