Prescriptions Drugs for CHEAPER?! (30 Seconds)

I see it all the time at my practice.
One of my patients goes into the pharmacy and pays a 300 dollar co-payment for a 40 dollar drug.
And it makes me sick…
No anyone – especially a senior on a budget – should have to pay five or even ten times more for a drug than it’s worth.
Now you don’t have too.
Because there a few ways to END stop over-paying for drugs.
And it will only take you about 30 seconds to start raking in the savings.
Prescription drug overpayments (or “clawbacks”) happen when your insurance co-payment exceeds the total cost of the drug to your insurer or pharmacy benefit manager.
It’s a common practice and insurance companies have been benefiting for years, but there was little proof that it was happening.
Until now…
Because according to a study, published by the University of Southern California, insurance copays are higher than the cost of the drug about 25 percent of the time.
For the research, USC investigators analyzed 9.5 million prescriptions and found SHOCKING results.
The overpayments averaged $7.69 per prescription.
Sure, this may not sound like a lot… but it adds up to a WHOPPING $135 million that goes directly into the hands of your insurance company!
This means Big Insurance is once again profiting off your misery.
But you can beat this dirty system… in about 30 seconds.
Simply ask your pharmacist if your drug costs less WITHOUT your insurance benefits.
And about 25% of the time, they will say YES.
Additionally, there are websites like goodrx.com that can help find coupons and discounted prices on many common drugs.
