Take for example my Coumadin. I used to fill it at CVS for $10 for each dose. So $20 a month. But through CVS Caremark, provided through my husbands insurance, a 90 day supply of both only cost me $40. Its not much but its like getting a month free. And when you start adding more and more prescriptions, every dollar counts! I also paid $20 for my Pantoprazole, saving $10.
Now here's the real kicker. When I was prescribed Xifaxan, I took the script to CVS and almost had a heart attack when the total came out to over $350 for a one months supply. That's when I started digging. My transplant social worker advised me to call the manufacture and see about coupons, so I did! They sent three rebate coupons for $75 off. And while it is a lot of savings, I just couldn't afford to pay that much every month. So back to Caremark I went. And this is what I got.
Yes you are seeing that right. A 90 day supply for only $80. And all of a sudden that $75 rebate does magic. Seriously What would have cost me over $1000, I got for how much.....$5 my friends. I am beyond excited! Just had to share this with you. I'm also already looking at how I can cut my costs after my transplant. Because there will be a lot of them and many for the rest of my life.
Those are awesome savings! I did a post once about how much I saved when I started getting my meds through the mail (90 day supply) versus picking up at the pharmacy (30 day supply) and I was astonished as well! Savings are awesome!
