It is interesting that some prescriptions are cheaper going cash price, but not all. I read an article about several companies opening up Cash (non Insurance) pharmacy's.
I first learned about this a few years ago when my Acid Reflux drug went up at CVS. For a 90 day supply of ESOMEPRAZOLE MAGNESIUM they wanted $148. I asked them their cash price and it was $450. Yikes
I checked with Costco and their insurance price was $98, but their cash price is $18. Needless to say I went with Cash for this at Costco
I also take ROSUVASTATIN which is $35 on Insurance for a 90 day supply. My wife got this email for Amazon Prime Rx and the price (non Insurance) is $9.99
Then for my Blood Pressure medication Losartan, it was $17 on Amazon Prime Rx (Cash) and $7 at CVS through insurance and also cheaper at CVS then Costco.
What I take from this is you can get the best deal by sometimes splitting your prescription sources and cash vs Insurance
The 90 day supplies always seemed to be the better option
Based on my research for my situation the best deal for me is one via CVS (Insurance), One via Costco (cash) and one via AmazonPrimeRx (cash)
I hope I didn't violate any rules listing the Pharmacy names, but thought they would be helpful in identifying options people haven't thought of to save money
