Go to the manufactures website and sign up for a savings card.

They'll send you a card via email you'll present to the pharmacy that will lower your out of pocket costs.

Real Example...Prescription cost is $2,000. Insurance pays $1,619. Your responsibility is $381. I present the savings card and I'm paying $10 instead of the $381.

It's more important for the company to get the insurance payment portion than your deductible amount.

I went from having to pay $500+ a month to about $110.

I take 2 pills a day. One is very very expensive.

Sure if you want them to harvest your organs while you’re alive after a car crash

I'm 40 in a few months. Taking my medicine is getting myself together. I went unmedicated for a long time.

Note: this only works for brand name products.


And you're generally not eligible to use these if your prescriptions are primarily covered by Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare or any other government funded insurance.

No, you went lazy and gross for a long time, which is why you need to be medicated

Maybe he's on anti-psychotic meds. You don't know.

This is true. There's a reason but I won't get into that.

I have found the same thing! No telling how many folks don’t know about this and fork over a ton of cash every month. Everyone should check every one of their meds for manufacturers programs. Also, don’t overlook programs like Good RX….they can sometimes save thousands per month

Geez, he came here to try to help others. You do not even know his situation.

I agree being healthy is the way to go. But this thread is not the place for ridicule or condemnation

Our son's seizure meds are expensive as hell without my wife's great insurance. Some pills are very expensive.

Good deal. I just like sharing deals on here for folks on common things that aren't readily apparent.

The manufacturer coupon thing has really helped is out because without it, I'd probably wouldnt take my medication. $400 a month is way too expensive.

I suppose the companies know this too which is why they give these coupons. 80% revenue is better than no revenue with no subscribers.
