Has everyone heard about the $4 prescriptions for medicare?

Question

recipients at Walmart Pharmacies? My Mother-in-Law was telling me about this today. If you or a friend or family member are on Medicare check it out. It can save a lot of money. My father in law's prescriptions are over $1,000 a month so they are going to take a list of his meds to the Walmart Pharmacist and see which ones they can get for $4.

Answer 1

It's not just for ppl on medicare, it's for everyone. Keep in mind tho, that it's ONLY on the generic prescriptions. You can't walk in there and hand them a prescription say for viagra and expect to pay $4. If your meds aren't available in generic or for whatever reason you cannot take a generic instead, you won't be paying only $4.

Answer 2

It's not only for people on medicare. It's for everyone. People with or without insurance. Of course, not all drugs are covered but the list is pretty extensive. I have 3 perscriptions myself and one of them is on the list. I only save about $6.00 but that's $6.00 a month ($72 a year). Wal-Mart is taking over the world.

Answer 3

It's only for a very limited number of old generic drugs. Some of these drugs are more expensive through Wal-Mart than from other pharmacies. Most of these drugs initally came onto the market more than 20 years ago.

Answer 4

Most of the prescriptions probably won't be covered, unfortunately. If he is paying that much now, then he probably isn't getting generics.
