Do insurance companies reimburse network pharamcies the same amount? I priced some of my meds on my health insurance website and was given a lower out-of-pocket cost than I was charged. The website even had the name of the pharmacy I use.

Call your insurance company and ask.
For mine I can save costs by using a mail order network pharmacy vs. a local network pharmacy, the pricing is different. Also, I get a further discount at my network local pharmacy with their shopping card.
All insurance is complex and must be looked at in detail to find your best savings options. -
Earlier this month
I ordered a refill for one of my meds - the cost was $13.62 with the health insurance plan paying nothing. I didn't get to the pharmacy fast enough and it was returned back to the pharmacy stock. I was paying $13.62 all of last year for the med.
I reordered it and went to pick it up yesterday - the cost is now $40 - pharmacy says they don't know why. Any idea who/why the drug price increased so much in a matter of 10 days?Comment
