How to pay less for prescription drugs
      #216030 - 01/17/05 02:52 PM Attachment (186 downloads)

This part of the guide will be dedicated to exploring the different answers to a very common question: How can I save on prescription drugs?

As everything else in our site this is a work in progress and member participation is most welcome. Please post your suggestions, comments, tips, links...

The first things that comes to mind when trying to reduce prescription drug cost are:

1. Use less prescription drugs, do not use so many prescription drugs

2. Splitting pills/tablets. In many cases, cutting higher dosage tablets in half can save 50 percent of the prescription cost. Some brands cost the same per pill even if the medication contained in each pill is different. Most pharmacies sell pill splitters or tablet cutters. Note that not all tablets can be safely cut in half. You will have to do a bit of research.

3. Buy smart, buy the same for less
3.A. Start early! Your quest for savings should start with your physician. Ask how much the prescription will cost you. Mention you are on a tight budget. If you can't afford what the physician wants to prescribe insist on something else, ask for a cheaper alternative. Also keep in mind that physicians receive a lot free samples and do not mind giving them away. If you ask for free samples you will most likely get them, (this does not usually apply for controlled substances).
3.B. Compare prices. Do a bit of research.
Drugbuyers.com can help you in a number of ways with this. We have a drug list that allows you to Compare Prices, our free area features two forums called "Who Offers It? How Much?" and "Who offers it? How much? W/UPDATES" that will help you find who offers a particular prescription drug for less, and our feedback and questions and answers forums are loaded with info. Try our search feature to locate all posts related to the med or topic that interests you.

3.A. Replace brand names for generics or other brand names that cost less
3.B. Domestic mail order pharmacies and online pharmacies.
3.C. Use Canadian, Mexican, and other foreign pharmacies
3.D. Use DrugBuyers.Com VIP Discounts, discount cards, senior discounts, veteran discounts, coupons, and other discounts

4. Patient assistance programs

I just wanted to add that this is VERY TRUE and should help if a person will just ask their doctor...before I got my insurance,my doctor would write for the cheapest meds he could think of..(i.e.the cheapest antibiotics,ect)..and I was able to call him and ask for his samples of stuff if I couldn't get my meds or if I was running low and he would leave a bag of free pills to pick up at the front desk.He was always pretty good about letting me have the samples,I would leave there with a 14 day supply of free antibiotics and that was a lifesaver.I am sure if people just ask and make their doctor aware that price is a concern,they will give them out.(that's what they're there for)
Another way is to call around local pharmacies....I found out that a local mom and pop place was cheaper on one of my meds than my co-pay at the others...so it pays to call around.
I am THE bargain hunter..so this thread is a great help.Thanks DB.
