My insurance co...I recently did something similar.<br /><br />My insurance company (BCBS-IL) charges me a flat copay per prescription if I get them via mail order, and a percentage if I get them in a local pharmacy. That's intended to encourage me to order through the mail order pharmacy. When I started paying attention to this stuff (2007) my copay was $30 for mail order pharmacies. At the beginning of 2013, it was up to $60 (for a three month order).<br /><br />I have switched my Novolin R, test strip, and pen needle prescriptions to Walmart. I am keeping my only expensive prescription (Lantus) mail order. I am saving about $20 per month this way as compared to my old scheme.<br /><br />Jonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961973384914389626noreply@blogger.com
