Prescription costs

While in Florida I had one of my prescriptions filled by Walgreens. Their price was 20% higher than my normal Michigan price. Since I have all my Medicare Prescriptions filled at Walgreens I contacted Walgreens & my Medicare Blue Cross Provider about the difference in pricing.
I was told that different Walgreen stores will charge different prices even within the same city!!!

So just a "heads up: folks--- check out those prices before filling the order.

Happy trails,

Prescription costs

BandJCarm: check out the most recent issue of Consumer Reports (August), pp. 53ff. It's a real eye-opener. The bottom line is, only 20%!, You ain't seen nothing yet.

Make sure you have enough meds on hand to last your entire trip.

That's why I use Costco they are consistently cheaper, I expect Sams will be the same.

It is best to have enough to last you for the duration of your trip.

Walmart or Sam's should be cheaper. The drug plan that I am in requires that all long
term meds be bought via mail order with 90 day amounts. They are very cheap and the system works very well. I can get one time meds at Walgreens or CVS. I don't like Walmart because of their customer service, long lines and surly staff. Good Luck
