    I just double checked, currently the generic for my medication I used to take before UHC, can be gotten for just under $40 from CVS or Target, its $150 from walgreens for some reason (Either way, same copay to me regardless of whether its $40 or $150), while the name brand specific med shows $750 on their website, while goodRX shows I can get it from Walgreens or CVS for $650 for 30 day supply, but I have to take a double dose, so its yeah, between $1300 (GoodRX price) and $1500 (MSRP) per 30 day supply for me if I had to pay out of pocket for it.

      May not help, but if you haven’t checked out Cost Plus Drugs, it may be worth a look. I can get a 90 day supply of my prescription for less than my one month insurance rate at my local pharmacy.

      Not a sales pitch for them, but I love the complete transparency in their pricing.

      Only downside is that the order to shipping process can take a bit, so for a regular medication, you need to somewhat plan ahead with your supply.
