Sarcoidosis: Paying for pills
For about a year now, I’ve been getting my NapraPAC (a combination of 1000 mg of generic Aleve and a Prevacid pill a day) for free. (Hey, prescription drug manufacturers: If you push your pills with giant stacks of coupons for the doctors you harass, they’ll turn around and give a big stack of them to patients.)
Today, at long last, I had to pay for the pills and I had been dreading the day, not knowing how much of a bite my insurance would take out of the three-figure bill for the 28 days of pills.
I had to pay $15. Score one for medical insurance.

Usually if your doctor writes your prescription for a three-month supply,
you can get a slight discount — eg. instead of paying $45 for three months
your copay might pay $35 or $40.
