Which pharmacy do you use?

Just wondering where you all have found the cheapest prices for Elmiron? Walgreens? Walmart? I have a high-deductible plan so I pay 100% cost for Elmiron until we hit our $5000 deductible

I am using Medco right now and it will be $1000 for a 3 month prescription so I'm shopping around. I cannot live without my Elmiron!

Hi Charisse...
I cannot say for sure but in my experience with Elmiron and other meds Walmart does seem to be the least expensive in my area. Hope this helps!

I use CVS, but please also know you can get Elmiron FOR FREE thru their script assist plan. I am blessed to be on it & you just need to google Elmiron & they will have the info to get signed up for it (all income based).

GOOD LUCK

Great suggestion!

Just in case you don't qualify, Charisse, just get on the phone and start calling around to the pharmacies in your area and ask their price for Elmiron and any other meds you take. That is how I found out that Walmart is the most affordable for all of my meds where I live. ALso please call your ins co to see if it has a mail order program where you can order 3 months worth of ELmiron at a time at usually a much worth it discount.

I have been without insurance/Rx plan for the past year or so....that is when I started making those calls to the pharmacies. My health insurance is effective again as of July 1, and I do have a pretty good Rx plan but it does have a small deductible....not nearly as large as yours

but still a deductible so until I meet that deductible I definitely want to get the best price possible for each med, even if it means using differnet pharmacies for each med I am rxd. And Walmart I have found to be the least expensive. In my area we have Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens pharmacies, some privately owned pharmacies (always most expensive, it seems), and some regional supermarkets that have pharmacies.

I have BC/BS with my employer - I get my prescriptions at Wal-mart Its $25.00 for 1 month supply or if I go thru the mail order with Medco its $75.00 for 3 months supply.

My Elmiron is covered under the highest priced tier on my insurance ($50 per months supply). When I first started taking it 3 yrs ago the only pharmacy that had it in stock was Walgreens; the uninsured price for 810 pills (3 months worth for me) back then was $1435.00. I was going to switch to Walmart pharmacy due to convenience (seems I was always there for something!), however their price was more expensive.
Like mentioned, just do some calling around; or if you think you qualify try getting on the assistance program.

Good luck!
