9 Ways to Get Medicine Cheap and Save Huge!

9) Insurance

If at all possible, you should have health insurance. Having insurance may be the difference between paying a co-pay of $20 versus the full price, which could be upwards of $200 or more. Insurance is the most cost-effective option for a person who uses brand-name medicines, not generic. While everyone would rather get the cheaper version, doctors sometimes prefer the patient to get the brand-name. Insurance can help you get the brand-name medicine you need, while not breaking the bank. Medication coverage comes in three categories: coverage before your deductible, after your deductible, and after prescription drug coverage. It is important to determine which one you currently have, and ultimately which works best for you, by looking at your prescriptions and talking to your pharmacy and insurance company.
