Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Diane- our ins. pay for 90 days @ time...I just sometimes have a hard time convincing Drs about - but they're finally starting to come around. I explain the ins thing- especially when Ken isn't working his union job $5 for generics for 3mo & $7 for 'brand' name... Sometimes my drug store has to special order things for me as most generics I can't tolerate or they just plain 'don't work'!! arlene Found out Walmart is one pharmacy that ONLY carries generic--So I have to drive over to a smaller drug store in WA! diane214@... wrote: > I think my husbands plan for co pay has you all beat...... $5 name brand > and $1 for generics.....

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Sounds like a pretty good deal. I used to get a break if there was no generic available, but not anymore. -dz- --- Terry Long <pawpawto3@...> wrote: > Dz, I pay $10 amonth for generic drugs, $15 for > non > generic if there is no non generic avalable and $25 > for non generic if there is a generic.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I think my husbands plan for co pay has you all beat...... $5 name brand and $1 for generics..... But they only let us have a 30 day supply at a time now..... He has to keep me covered even tho' we are not together.......

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 That does sound nice. My insurance use to be a $5 copay for what ever drug but like most companys My Company has slowly cut back on the insurance over the last 19 years.
