Contact your pharmacy. And your doctor. And your insurance provider.

That doesn't change until the end of the year

The amount of the co-pays can change

Over the years I have noticed slight variations in prices sometimes up a couple of dollars and sometimes down from quarterly prescriptions.

can't afford to change now and, besides, her parents are dead so I can't sue them or ask for my bribe to her father back. Besides, after nearly 53 years, I've grown accustomed to her.

I was surprised by that. I had sent in the change in provider for 2025 and the old provider suddenly, coincidentally (?) started raising my prices before I'd even left. I don't think it had ever happened before.

Honestly, I'm often finding that the GoodRx prices are lower than my Plan D prices, even if they're on the formulary. I just keep Plan D in case some new problem comes up and I need God-knows-what.

It is hard to keep up. As a dear friend said to me, "Why couldn't they put us on Medicare when we're 40 and we could still figure it all out?" We laughed very hard, but honestly, I don't think it would have made more sense when I was 40.

there was no announcement or anything. It came out of nowhere, and it was back when Joe was still here.

I think they found a loophole to offset the $2000 max limit. They also suddenly didn't have something on the formulary that had been! That was terrible! But again, with GoodRx I was okay. Still, it affects my copay for the year. I will end up spending more than 2000 total on my meds, possibly, because if they remove things from the formulary mid-year, it only makes sense to use a coupon elsewhere. So complicated.

I will be talking to my friend who is a Walgreens pharmacy mgr later today. I'll try to remember to post here with the link.

I was taking Chantix generic, very expensive. CVS was the cheapest at $86/mo, then it went way up, like to $120/mo, but with the Walgreens discount card (even at CVS!), I got 2 mos for $115 totay. So significant savings.
