Went to the cardiologist yesterday. He prescribed a medication and warned me it was quite expensive. I told him I thought I had good insurance, so off I went with prescription in hand.
Dropped the prescription off at a pharmacy on my way home. They called this morning and said the prescription would be $2,000.
I told them that even though the doctor said it would be expensive, I didn't think it would be that much. Turns out that was the cash price, their system had misplaced my insurance info. They said they would run it past my insurance and call back later.
Call back came, new price is: $60.
I am once again very pleased that I have good insurance, but what are people with less advantageous insurance or none to do?
I sure hope we can fix this system…
