Can I do that? Where do you find the least expensive prescriptions?
If I understand you correctly, you want to use your Part D and want to determine which pharmacy will keep your copay as small as possible.

The only way to do this efficiently and accurately is to call your Part D insurance company and have them look it up.

Based on my experience, any advice to call this pharmacy or go to that pharmacy is a waste of your time. The typical response is, "We won't know your cost until we run it through our system," and the pharmacy techs don't want to spend the time to do this just so you can save some out-of-pocket.
