WalMart Scripts

Bob has new prescriptions for the medications he takes for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. We have a drug plan through his retirement along with medical coverage that costs us about $5,000 per year with a $1,500 per person deductible.

It costs us over $300 for a 90-day of both medications supply through the mail. He mentioned this fact to the doctor last week and she suggested he try WalMart.

So he drove out near the mall and dropped off his 'scripts. When he picked them up, the pharmacist said if WalMart submitted these to our drug plan, it would be less than through the mail to MedCo; however, if Bob was willing to pay cash it would be far less than that.

Bob paid $10 for each 90-day supply of his meds! $20 for what used to cost us over $300. Thank you, WalMart.

'til later
