SAVING ON PRESCRIPTIONS
By spending just a few dollars less on your regular prescriptions, you can enjoy considerable savings in the long run. Here are some tips for getting the greatest value on your prescriptions.
By using a mail order pharmacy service, you can get larger quantities of your prescriptions, often at the same price you’d pay for a smaller quantity at your traditional pharmacy.
You’ll pay lower prices for your prescriptions if you opt for an in-network pharmacy instead of a pharmacy that’s out of your plan’s network.
Most commonly used prescription drugs are available in less-expensive generic forms. If a generic form isn’t available, ask the pharmacist if there’s an equivalent drug that has a generic form.
How much you pay for prescriptions depends on which plan you’re enrolled in. Find your plan below to see what you'll be paying for your prescriptions—and how large of a supply you'll get.
