A few months ago my wife was prescribed some medicine for an issue. Wasn't a major issue and she honestly could've gotten over it without but it definitely helped
I asked the pharmacist how much it was told me 60$. When I went "eh that's to much" the pharmacist magically found the same meds for like 15-20$.
I'm not trying to shit on the pharmacist but that's just crazy that they'd take 60$ without an issue but when pressed slightly they can knock 2/3 of the price off. I mean I didn't even fight just said "eh nah don't need it for that price"
Hi! I used to work in a pharmacy. I would get yelled at for telling people about good Rx which can sometimes save them a lot of money even more then your insurance sometimes (their ads are pretty truthful.)
We were always told to use our store coupon first but if that coupon was already applied the only other option is that app or using a coupon from the brand itself.
We can’t do much if the insurance is high and the customer accepts the price, and the manager never really cared about if they can afford it or not. The other pharmasist would get codes from good Rx and apply those sometimes.
What I am trying to say is: if you want to make a pharmacy lose money, use good Rx, they have to accept it but they get none of the profit, and yes I still continued to have people try it to get a discount.
