I have a Humana plan that contracts with RightSource, and if I have my ongoing generic meds filled at RightSource (mail order), they are FREE. If you need a prescription immediately (like an antibiotic), first check with Publix if it's one of the ones they offer free (Publix has made some changes recently), and if not, then use a preferred pharmacy.

For those who aren't aware of this, in general Costco has the lowest prices for prescriptions. I once had to be on a heavy-duty, long term antibiotic; I called some local pharmacies, and the lowest price I came up with was about $525. One of these pharmacists quietly told me to contact Costco, where I had it filled for just a little over $100! One does NOT have to be a member to use their pharmacy. However, there is no local Costco (unfortunately...), but many people do not know that Costco has a mail order pharmacy. Check out: Costco Pharmacy Home Delivery. Good luck! As Champion6 says, "It's a jungle out there." And as I say, this Part D plan was not designed with us in mind.... Last edited by Quixote; 01-23-2014 at 07:04 AM.

The competition among Pharmacies has been intense for about 20 years because several script companies had been competing for insurance business. It was predicted that the Affordable Care Act would change the face of the medical Pharma and insurance industries and it has. Employers will will drop their employer sponsored plans, etc. so not only are the uninsured/individuals forced to exchanges we all will be and its going to ge ugly.
My employer sponsored retirement plan will disappear and they will provide an allowance meaning that its gong to cost me a whole lot more Ugh |

I only get my prescriptions filled at Sam's Club. Most of the time the price is less than my copay. Of course, antibiotics are free at Publix, so I get them there. You do not have to be a member to use the pharmacy, liquor store or restaurant.
