I’m sure this is very helpful information for those who need it the most! My GF also has Crohns and the cost of the meds is really high … so much so that as a single gal she always considers a company’s medical benefits in great deal when deciding where to work.

We’ve started using Walgreens for our family’s prescriptions (my daughter has a moderate to severe asthma & and I’ve need a lot of medication to get through this pregnancy) and found that they have tons of ways to help get around the high cost of medications. Even with health insurance, their savings plan often saves me more!

In reply to QueenB. Yes there is a lot to learn. But it's worth while when you save money and stay healthy.

That’s exactly what I did – I talked to a Walgreens pharmacist to see what I could do as an uninsured person to save on my prescriptions and I’m not sure what program I’m in, but it’s something and it saves me a ton every month.

I would love to have a walgreens closer to me, we spend a fortune each month on meds.

I agree no one should have to make the choice between medication and food, it's just so wrong. I'm glad to hear about this program and hopefully it will help a lot of people.

These are great tips!! I have taught undergrad healthcare classes and my favorite part is having students take out their insurance cards to read the fine print!! thanks for making it easier for people and bringing attention to the challenges people face navigating the Medicare–its not easy!!

I’m so glad that walgreens is doing their part to help consumers with rising costs of prescription meds. I work in a nursing home where our corp owns their own pharmacy. My rates are pennies to the $$ which means although I benefit, others are paying an arm and a leg which isn’t fair. Kudos to Walgreens!
