Default Lipitor

I'm currently working and have a Cigna health plan with my employer. I had used the $4 Lipitor card for about a year and just paid $4 per month.
Right after the generic came out our pharmacist advised that I had to pay $10 per my insurance company. The next time, I was going to be charged much more ( I forgot how much) because the generic was available. I now buy the generic by mail getting a 90 day supply for $40. I'll have my liver function and cholesteral taken right after my LSV next month. We'll see what happens....

By the way, the pharmacy wants to sell you the drugs. The insurance company you have dictates how much they have to charge. So it just depends on your health plan if you have medicare or any other plan...
