Prescriptions that use to just have a $1 co-pay now aren’t covered by my insurance

@trifo Check your formulary to see what tier the rx falls under, then reference your SBC to see how it’s covered. Some plans have “preferred” in network pharmacies with lower copays. $1 to $60 is a big jump though. I have a feeling it’s generic vs name brand.
 
@trifo Check goodrx. They list the retail prices for meds. (the cost before coupons). There is an incredible range. You would think retail is retail and would be the same for all pharmacies. But that's not true.

I've found that some of the major chains have extremely high prices compared to someplace like Walmart.

Also, some medications are super cheap depending on the pharmacy. For example my local grocery store pharmacy will only charge $1 for any antibiotic. There's one antibiotic that costs $500. But it's $1 where I go.
