Four Tips to Save Money on Perscription Meds

If you don't have health insurance, perscriptions can be pretty expensive. Even over the counter meds can eat a whole in your wallet. One thing I have found is that different pharmacies charge different prices for perscriptions. Sometimes the difference may be five dollars and sometimes a whole lot more.





Here is four tips to save money on perscription meds:

1. Ask your doctor if he can give you the least expensive perscription that will do the job. Sometimes changing the perscriptions can save you some money.



2. Call different pharmacies and check their prices on each perscription. I have found that a pharmacy may be cheaper on one perscription and higher on another. It pays to check around for each perscription.



3. Ask the pharmacist if it is cheaper to buy a three month supply on the perscriptions that you use regularly. Sometimes you can save quite a bit this way.



4. Check Walmart to see if a perscription is in the $4 program.

It is amazing to me to see the different perscription prices that you can get. It pays to shop around. Calling before hand can save you a small bundle.
