Don’t let the rising cost of prescription drugs cut into your RV lifestyle. Follow these cost-cutting tips to lower your drug costs and have more money left over to pursue the lifestyle you love.
1) Tell the doctor you want to save. Before your doctor fills out that prescription slip, let him or her know that you’re working within a budget. You may be able to work out a cost-saving plan with your medical professional.
2) Compare coverage. Don’t just settle for the brand your doctor recommends. Ask for a variety of choices, and then check with your insurance company to see which one has the highest copay. It’s possible that brand A is significantly more expensive than brand B.
3) Get Samples. Doctors will likely have samples—10 to 14 days worth—of a drug free of charge. It’s worth testing the medication to make sure that it is worth your money.
4) Generics to the rescue: Generic drugs can cost up to 85% lower than their brand-name counterparts and are comparable in effectiveness. Ask your doctor to inform you of your generic options.
5) You May Already Be Covered. Look into the available state subsidy and Medicare programs. You may already qualify for many of the programs offered by the government.
