You may have a mail in option as part of your insurance. Call the carrier and ask. It is also perfectly fine to call the MD and ask for a less expensive option. Keep in mind that whatever it is you have likely was managed by the doctor 10 years ago with something different that is perhaps 98% as effective and is far less expensive [but doesn't provide free pens and lunches]. Ask what the risk of using this older medication might be and decide if you are willing to accept taking a slightly less effective medication if the older med is not fully equivalent to the newer pricier version.
