Ask Your Doctor About The 340 B Prescription Drug Program

[gab13by13]

In the beginning of the year I paid 841 dollars for a 90 supply of Eliquis through a mail order company.

My family doctor advised me about a federal program, 340 B that was available through my local hospital's pharmacy. All I had to do was have my family doctor write the prescription for Eliquis instead of my cardiologist.

I just went to the pharmacy, I am not allowed to get a 90 day supply, but I did get a 30 day supply and paid 10 dollars.

Mail order companies like Expresscripts are not always cheaper.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist about the 340 B program.

Slight disclaimer, I hadn't met my deductible when I paid the 841 dollars, but regardless I saved a lot. 😊

1. Thanks for posting

I'm still taking Warfarin because Eliquis' program only starts helping when what I pay reaches $600 - which just happens to be the amount I have to pay to get it, i.e. it doesn't pay for anything. I will check into this program.

Eliquis is the most expensive prescription I take. Thanks for the tip
