How to Get Discounts at Pharmacies?
The price of prescription drugs has been on the rise over the years, and with health insurance not living up to its name, everyone could most likely use a good discount when at the local pharmacy. But how can this price cut be achieved? Here are a few tips to help save money during the next trip to the pharmacy.1) Manufacture Rebates: Many drug companies are offering rebates and mail-in coupon offers to those willing to use their product. A great example of this discount can be seen with the prescription heartburn medication called AcipHex. The manufacture of the pill offers a mail-in rebate for all customers that can save them up to $55 dollars. All a customer has to do is save the pharmacy receipt and fill out the claim receipt and a check is sent in the mail within 4 to 8 weeks. What can be easier than that? Check the websites of specific prescriptions or ask the local pharmacist for more information.2) Pharmacy Programs: Many pharmacies are offering discount cards to customers that are willing to use their services. Most of the time these programs are completely free, but sometimes there is a small monthly or yearly fee. Compare this fee to the savings that could be gained with the program and weigh the benefits toward the costs to see if these programs are worth it.3) Go Generic: While many seem to be shying away from generic prescriptions, they can be a great option to save a lot of money. For example, the hormone medication Synthroid can run a person approximately $45 dollars a month, but its exact generic equivalent, Levothroxine, is on about $5 dollars a month. That’s a $40 dollar savings for almost the exact same medication. It may be worth it to switch generic medications for savings like that.So when trying to save a few dollars at the pharmacy check out these options during your next visit and make sure to ask the pharmacist if they know of any other options to help during these tough times. Great savings may be just around the corner, or just a question away!
