My insurance co-pay is the same wherever I get a prescription filled.




Same with my insurance.

However some is not on the formulary and not covered by the insurance.
Then it is time to shop around and look into the Good Rx web site.
Sometimes the doctor can put in a special request to the insurance
company and get the price lowered somewhat.

nation-wide "online" pharmacy.


Down here they are warning that these mail order drugs may be sitting
days in un air conditioned trucks or warehouses and in your mail box
baking in the sun all day. A lot of drugs get degraded from that.

I get an emailwhen it is shipped and I have it next day. Stuff that
needs to stay cool (like my wife's insulin" comes in an ice-pack. Last
delivery took 2 days, and the cold packs were still solid. It is 100km
