Accessing $4 Prescriptions
August 1, 2009 – 3:39 pm by ScottSchoenvogel$4 prescriptions exist for more and more medications. The problem is that most participating pharmacies choose to only offer $4 prescriptions in specific amounts and dosages. That means that you may not get the $4 price if your doctor prescribes you a dosage or an amount that does not meet the pharmacy specifications. There are two ways to address this situation:
1. Take the $4 list from your pharmacy to your physician and ask if you can address your prescription needs with the specific prescriptions on the list
2. Use Compass to coordinate that conversation with your doctor on your behalf
Either way, be a savvy consumer and don’t let a few pharmacy tricks keep you from paying the true cost of care.
