Maybe you've noticed already, but having a
chronic illness means paying lots for long-term and short-term
medication. Smart shopping can save you in the long run.
Here are some tips:
-
For short-term meds, find a local pharmacy
and see if they have any special programs offering discounts for a
small annual fee, rebates or payment plans.
-
For long-term medication, you can
order straight from the manufacturer. You'll probably have to
buy in bulk but it may reduce costs.
-
Keep a record of your costs so you can
track the best and cheapest of past options.
-
Consider buying online. Ask friends for
recommendations or check with your local Better Business Bureau or
attorney general's office to be sure you're ordering from a
reputable Web site.
-
Compare prices locally. They can vary from store to store.
