I used to think that prescriptions cost the same amount regardless of where they were purchased. Of course, I thought that because my health plan trained me that the cost of the prescription was the co-pay. So regardless of where I purchased my son’s monthly prescription for Singulair it cost me $50. I was enlightened of the fact that the costs of prescriptions do in fact vary by talking with friends. It seems like a lot of the “truth” about healthcare comes from peers via word of mouth. Once I learned that the cost difference of Singulair is over $50 per month less expensive at my grocery store pharmacy compared to my corner drugstore, I started getting this prescription while getting my groceries. By simply changing where I pick up a single prescription each month saves over $600 in healthcare costs every year while consolidating my shopping and creating no personal inconvenience. Now, I want to know what other information is out there that I could be using to make better healthcare choices which I haven’t heard from my peers yet.
