Recently, we went on a trip to MX, so DW decided that we all had to get some typhoid vaccines. We all went to the same provider, same location, and they ordered same prescription, but we picked it up at two different pharmacies.
Here is what the exact same pills cost us according to the EOB by my insurance company:
Pharmacy 1
Description Charges Allowed Amount Paid Amount Amount You Owe
VIVOTIF $220.07 $195.34 $97.67 $97.67
Pharmacy 2
Description Charges Allowed Amount Paid Amount Amount You Owe
VIVOTIF $119.08 $96.14 $96.14 $0.00
Had I known that pharmacy 2 cost 0, we would have obviously chosen it for both. This is so wrong.
