This years classic call. "This new eye drop is killing me. Its $100 a month. I need to switch from Silver Script"
Told her that didn't sound right. Its a $20 RX at CVS.
Client: "I go to Walgreens"
Daughter (who is on the call):" MOTHER. Jenny told you to take all new prescriptions to CVS, in case they are expensive."
Client: "Its a pain to go across the street"
This is a George Carlin routine, right?
How is it possible to say when one will be in and out of the donut hole without knowing the retail price of the drug in question?
The Rx reports on Mcare.gov show the retail prices for your plan. I suppose you can get them from your carrier as well. Never had to ask.
When I run a PDP report for clients we go over the month by month report showing retail and what you pay. The complicated ones with deductibles and hitting the donut hole take more time, but the info is there.
