Epipens…
-
So Karla finished a course of antibiotics then had an allergic reaction begin after she finished (hives). She went to the urgent care and was given some steroids, antihistamines and a prescription for an Epipen.
She went to Costco to fill the prescriptions. With our insurance, the copay for the Epipen was $500. If we just bought it straight, ourselves. $251.
Something is very wrong with our system.

Yep.
Those formularies are negotiated insurance by insurance. That's why a good local pharmacist can save you money.
For instance, some "free" cards such as Good Rx can save you money over your regular insurance. A good local pharmacist will know that and has the time to find you the best deal.

So what I’m curious about is what the actual insurance reimbursement to the pharmacy is.

@LuFins-Dad I presume you just bought it directly, right?
