I see on Costco's web page it is just under $35. I went into my Mom's Part D plan and used the online Rx tools for you. I put in Sams Club, Target & one of our local grocery store to compare. They were from $20.76 - 21.41 for 30 days. You might even get a better price for a 90 day supply. Here is the *. * This is an estimated cost, so your actual pricing may vary. Because drug prices are subject to change, you may not learn your actual cost until you fill your prescription.

Teri2, I think that they call it, "business", don't they? And, with many companies buying up or squeezing out the opposition, the concentration of many businesses enables them to pretty well do as they please. Considering that it costs so much to run a political campaign - and guess who pay for them? - many of them have friends in high places. But - each individual has one vote, and many citizens are getting rather fed up with the big shots' ways. One day there'll be a reckoning. Visit your politicians' meetings. Ask embarrassing questions - and have backup for your side so that the politicians' pals can't shut you down. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance", said one of your country's founders - Patrick Henry, wasn't it? Good wishes to you all as you insist on preserving your freedom - commercial as well as political. joyful guy/Ed (Canadian - and we have corporate concentration problems, as well, plus many major businesses owned extraterritorially)

We have access to licensed health insurance advisers (brokers) through my DH's former employer. After I ran the numbers on the Medicare Part D site, I called these people to verify my understanding of the two different plans I had selected for us. They could tell me nothing about the one I selected for myself because...it's not one that they 'broker'. So -- I wouldn't rely on just what one broker offers. Mutual of Omaha is new in our area in 2020. I enrolled in their Value Part D plan because it was among the cheapest when combining the cost of the premium and the cost of my meds. (Advair is my big expense at $450 retail per month.) I'm OK with their preferred pharmacy being CVS. I'll pay $22.80/month premium, and a total of $1232/month average out of pocket including known meds. (My 2019 Part D plan with United was completely overpriced for 2020 when I ran the numbers on the Medicare guide.) My 2020 Part D card arrived in the mail within two weeks of our October enrollment sign-ups; impressive. DH has so few meds that he rarely exceeds the deductible, so a low premium is a goal for him. (Nearly all Part D plans in our area have a $435 deductible in 2020.) He'll have WellCare Select Part D for 2020. Premium is $15.50/month; total with meds averages $249/month. (He also has to pay an $8 penalty in addition to this, dating from when he did not take a Part D plan the first year it was required.) We're OK with this CVS plan. His Part D card has yet to arrive -- despite two letters confirming enrollment; not impressive. We choose to have premiums paid by deduction from our Soc. Sec. benefits. No coupons. No direct withdrawal from bank account.

Insulin is cheaper, often much, much less expensive about every where in the world outside of the US. To the point of it being not unusual for it to be worth it to buy a plane ticket to get there, depending on how pricey the med is here in the States. You don't have to think of it as just a long trip to the store, either. But as a side benefit of having a getaway trip. With insulin, you do need to have a plan as to how to keep it cool for the duration. Also, I think that insulin is an OTC item most of the world over. Having a RX isn't a bad idea though to avoid any possible problems with border crossings. WalMart sells 2-3 kinds of older types of insulin OTC and at reasonable cost. Regular, NPH and a 70/30 blend of the two (fast acting & intermediate acting.) https://diabetesstrong.com/walmart-insulin/ There may be other low cost vendors of OTC insulin. I'm familiar w/ WMT's because my vet sent me there after our Lab was diagnosed w/ diabetes. (Rather than using much more expensive canine insulin.)
