经常遇到这样的问题,有些病人没有药物保险,想买可以负担得起的药物。
我以前的经验按价格由低到高:
-1. Canada
0. www.drugstore.com
1. 家庭开的pharmacy
2. Warehouse,像Sam's club
3. Wargreen/Rite aid/walmart/Grocery store
4. CVS
需要说明的是,这不是绝对的,只能是大概, 大家有什么异议,欢迎提出来。
今天看一个病人,自费买在CVS是165一个月,我说到Sam's试试,结果只要30,她高兴
得不行,马上买了个membership。
btw: 我声明我没买walmart的股票, lol

this is very legit concern, and a big factor determin med compliance
Giant eagle has $4 prescription program, and free abx
also Target, walmart
drugmart has discount card
in my experience CVS is the most expensive one

seems Giant Eagle only at east not west coast. Good to know Target also has
$4 program.
I sometimes ask my pt to go to Costco to get Chantix for smoke cessation.

4 dollar tag is a bait. Walmart makes no money on those baits. Same rule
applies to other stores like Target. They have to make money on other meds
which are expensive.

Even a bait is still better than CVS. Supposedly walmart makes money from
groceries and other non-medical stuff the customers buy, but even those
stuff are often more expensive at CVS.

It depends what you treat. The quality of meds is always better for brand,
so when treating certain diseases like epilepsy, be cautious to switch from
brand to generic. A car accident could be a disaster.

4 dollar program does make difference to lots of poor people. A++ probably
has not serve very poor pt population yet (but time will come when everyone
has insurance).

I agree cheap statins Walmart brings in helped people in poverty. But
walmart is no charity and it makes no money on 4 dollar prescriptions.
Without selling high profit drugs, there is no room for 4 dollars drugs. In
other words, this is another invisible tranfer of wealth to poverty. :)

you're probably right about walmart :) But still, if $4 statins can prevent
MI or CVA for those pts, we should pay for it other than pay for their
hospitalization later.
