At a time like this when a war over health care in this country is at an all time high, I feel it’s important to post things like this.
I just went to CVS today to pick up a prescription, my COBRA expired on March 31st 2010 and my new health plan hasn’t kicked in yet…so I go to pick it up at CVS, and the cute Pharmacy tech rang it up and it was going to be about $35 and I asked, hasn’t my insurance kicked in yet, because I’m with the same insurance company, she said no…then I said how much is it with the Blue Sky discount, and she said that is with the Blue Sky, and I said, what about the Universal discount and it was a bit cheaper, but then she said, let me try one more…she checked on the computer and got one that reduced the cost by almost 50%, my friggin co-pay for my insurance was $20, so this was cheaper! That one is called the Argus Prescription Drug Discount.

So, next time you need to get a prescription filled, get it done at CVS and ask for the Argus Prescription Discount…and if you have insurance, compare, to see which is cheaper.
