Snowbird and blue cross

I’m 68. And take Gabapentin for arthritis. This is my only prescription.
She is 65. Has no prescription.
We r very healthy yet Blue cross wants 500 for first month and 800 for the second!!?
Is there another way?

    Sorry. She corrected me. First month is included in our annual plan. If we stay over 30 days then they charge us an extra $800.00

    If the Rx is less than the price just pay out of pocket. Might check if this scrip is one the manufacture gives discounts to those that can't or aren't covered by other ins.

    "Another way" to get your prescription? Pay cash, It's about $25.00.


    or check out GoodRX (online and the app). no fees, no membership. it works.

    As you are on Medicare, you probably have a drug plan. Which one? Check and see if the Humana Walmart drug plan could save you some money. Be thankful that you only have one medication.
