But first, a little background information. For years, my doctor has prescribed two preventivetype medications. Both are generics, and together they have cost me about $24 for a 30-day supply for quite a few years. Given that my health insurance at the time included prescriptions, it never dawned on me to check into the details or to search for a cheaper alternative. I changed health insurance providers recently. My new coverage does not include prescriptions, a small matter that slipped my mind as I drove through to pick up my most recent refills. The pharmacist asked if I'd changed insurance, I said yes I had, and she responded with, "That will be $178, please." What?! Once I picked my jaw up off the floor, I asked her why the price was so high. She had a long explanation about my previous insurance coverage, pharmaceuticals and the high cost of meds. I could not get home fast enough to search for a cheaper place to get these meds filled in the future. I had to look at the search results three times before I could believe what I was reading. One of the links was to Rite Aid Rx Savings Program. I input the two medications in the search box provided, and the price quote came back I am learning that Rite Aid is as less than $26 total for a 90-day supply for both medications - not the only pharmacy with a - about $8.75 per month, generic drug discount program. not even close to the $26 I Wal-Mart, Target, CVS and Walhad been paying with insur- greens, to name a few, advertise similar plans.
