Prescription Costs

While in Florida I had one of my prescriptions filled by Walgreens. Their price was 20% higher than my normal Michigan price. Since I have all my Medicare Prescriptions filled at Walgreens I contacted Walgreens & my Medicare Blue Cross Provider about the difference in pricing.
I was told that different Walgreen stores will charge different prices even within the same city!!!

So just a "heads up: folks--- check out those prices before filling the order.

Happy trails,

    You seek logic in the world of Medicare. There is none.

  • When Medicare started paying 50% in the donut hole, The price of Insulin tripled, and there has been no reason except corporate rip-off. With all kinds of political raving about rising Medicare costs, there has been NOTHING done about this. And, companies trying to get into the market to provide an alternative at lower prices were bought out by the same drug companies so they could keep their prices higher. I can't say too much about this, cause my blood pressure goes up and I need more pills to keep it down. I bet my prescriptions at Walmart, because I can get refills just about anywhere we are at. (except New York).
  • My prices went up almost doubt over last year! Using the same Walgreens and same insurance company plan.
