What Are You Thinking?

That I need to switch doctors... I get the distinct feeling that this hack only sees county patients to make some extra cash.

Rayne- see if the various drug companies that make your meds have any assistance programs you qualify for. They give away shitloads of free meds (which tells you just how much they're making on the stuff they sell). You can find the forms on their websites... it may help if you get your docs to fill out the forms and advocate for you.

I see a mutually beneficial arrangement.........if you were closer :p

never know, i might be, depending on the job search! :wink

oh, and i'm thinking that a 1.5 hr drive to south bend tomorrow in an ice storm is going to not only suck, but be twice as long as it should, if i even make it. at least i'm getting paid hourly for this contract work! (plus mileage!)

Nope, never done that. I don't have memberships to any of those, so I never even thought about it. Totally worth a call though, thanks.

You do not need a membership to Costco to get prescriptions at Costco. It is likely the same case at Sam's Club. [i know, because Spook told me, that membership can not be required for liquor purchases by law. I wonder if it is the same per prescriptions?]

Anyway, again, you do NOT need a Costco membership to get your prescriptions from Costco. Just tell the people at the door that you are there for the pharmacy. Let them know at the pharmacy that your meds are not covered by insurance.

You will probably have to sign a form stating that you allow Costco pharmacy to substitute generics when available and will not sue them for doing so, but you should be able to get your scrips on their discount program.

I've been using Costco for my scrip for about 18 months now, and I am quite satisfied with them. My med, the generic for Prozac, cost me only $7.11 for 30 days there. It even recently went down to $5.23. (I know, what's up with those numbers?) Your med will likely cost much more, but you should still see some savings over other stores.

My daughter's does, it's Abilify (no generic) but they told me they can not dispense to her as she is a minour and even though the medication is used on some minours with extreme depresson and mood disorders, they haven't stated it is safe for use under age 18.

As for mine - nope (reproductive health maintainence meds).

TWB - thanks, I'll look into that.

Wondering if Rayne had any luck with those calls. :-)

Haven't had a chance to call yet. Is on the agenda for the car rides tomorrow ... I just filled them all right before the year ended, so we're good until the end of January.
