[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 408004, member: 3704"] mavh2005, I understand where you are coming from, we have a high deductible policy as well - although husband has somehow already managed to meet his for the year... I was amazed at the costs of difficult child's medications, and since we were paying the entire cost, I spent a couple of days checking store web sites for drug prices, and calling the stores who don't list their prices. Believe me, they do not like to disclose this information over the phone, but they will if you press. There is an incredible range of prices out there. It is simply unbelievable. It turns out that KMart is very competitive with their prices. They have low prices on many medications that other stores do not. We don't live near a KMart, and I have to travel quite a ways to get there - but it is worth it to go there four times a year. No joke, I am saving hundreds of dollars a year, and I am paying less than I used to pay in co-pays. It's funny, back when I just had to pay a co-pay, I never even knew about the incredibly wide range of prices out there - and it appears that most retailers don't want you to know! There really may be something about the idea of individuals taking control of their own health care costs eventually bringing prices down. Interestingly, difficult child's doctor asked me where we purchased his medications. I told him about the research I did, and how, oddly enough, KMart had the lowest prices by far. He got really excited, and said -"I'm going to go call them right now, because I'm paying way to much for my own medications"! Valerie [/QUOTE]
