LET'S UPDATE OUR AARP PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNTS

📎  Wow @nctarheel , I have NEVER looked into what AARP calls a "discount" on meds. Very interesting indeed!!!  👍

➡️[*** YOU WROTE: It has been 7 months since I received, at my home, unrequested correspondence regarding:

 

                            AARP'S PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT PROGRAM.

 

It was ridiculous that it was even called a discount program then....so what about now?

 

I take five medications.

 

Prescription #1- Their price: $1680.00

                           My cost:     $80.00

 

Prescription #2- Their price: $4.95

                          My cost:      $0

 

Prescription #3- Their price: $1.44

                          My cost:      $0

 

Prescription #4- Their price: $582.00

                           My cost:     $0

 

A fifth drug price was requested of their PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT PROGRAM but I kept getting an error message but based on other factors, I would estimate that Prescription #5 would have a comparison similar to Prescription #4.

 

To call this a "DISCOUNT PROGRAM" is a misnomer or worse. ***]

It is a discount program like many others - you check their price along with other discount places to see if you can get your meds cheaper especially if you aren’t concerned with using your Part D or prescription drug coverage - 

It may not cover what you may need or at least at a better price so it is out - try someplace else.

It is called shopping around especially if you don’t need to use your Part D or Prescription drug insurance plan.  One option among others.

Many people that are using those GLP-! med for ONLY weight loss have to find a place to buy them since they aren’t covered at all by Medicare unless there is either a document Diabetes #2 or Cardiac involvement.
