Anybody Else's Prescriptions Jump Considerably?

[Jason Freeland]

Last few scripts I filled were $35 when they usually are less than $10 and the one I filled today was $150, when usually $30. I'm guessing insurance isn't covering as much as they used to. Anyone else see theirs jump this month? I already checked on a copay card and downloaded one, we will see how much it helps.

What insurance do you have. I suspect your plan has changed.

Being on Medicare I pay $35 per month for a prescription drug plan...which I dont use because I'm healthy and dont take regular any prescription meds. When I do need them or something the insurance doesnt cover I use Good Rx, it helps a lot :

I was paying $22.50 for three months supply of insulin after insurance until Biden decided to make it affordable by setting a $32.50 per month max for it. Now I pay $32.50 a month. </eyeroll>

Could be a deductible amount you have to meet first. I usually check GoodRX or WellRX or RxSaver to find prescription coupons.

Yes deductibles have to be met first of the year, especially those on Medicare with Part D plan.
We get calls all day long about why the co-pay is so much higher than last month. Wife is calling people constantly when she finds one that is really high so they know before they get the bill.

Mine jumped considerably. Plus, having to meet deductible.

Not since Odumbass Care helped us , has insurance increased so much.

Hey Dumbasscraps, quit helping us. I can't afford anymore help.

I didnt change my plan, didnt seee a need to, so when my cost went up I was surprised as well.

A lof of insurance companies are doing home deliveries now and charge much much less than you would see at a pharamcy. It's worth a call to see if your insurance is doing that.

Insurance companies do change their formularies too. That is a schedule of how much they pay for individual drugs.
