RX question

I am having a helluva time figuring out my new RX plan. Basically Kraupner just called me with some absurd amount and teh prices are way off from the plans website. They are saying I have some deductible that I will have to call about tomorrow.

But one of my questions is this. For brand Estrace I would have to pay $164.22 and for generic $5. Of course my MD wrote DAW. Has anyone used the generic? I will ask my MD about it Monday, but just wondering what others did!

Re: RX question

I gave my clinic a list of the meds that I have, and they revised my calendar and order for me at Freedom Pharmacy. So instead of $4K, I paid.... $150 +/-.

I would DEF work with your nurse or patient care coordinator to discuss this. Tell them to work with you if you are paying out of pocket.

Also there is a website where you can buy meds second-hand.

I think Donna (s/n) posted this a while ago. If it was someone else, sorry and thank you for the info...

Ahhhhhh, ok. I took those when I was with Kreiner, and haven't since, so I'm not sure what the brand is... Sorry!

Re: RX question

yes, I used the generic, it worked just fine. Just ask your RE to write out a RX for the generic.
