DH is on several drugs that he must take long term. He is on Medicare with Part D drug coverage. In the last few months the cost of some of his medications have increased drastically. For example, he take generic Methotrexate for his psoriatic arthritis. Last year the cost for a 90 day supply at Walmart was reasonable--$14. Recently he went to get his prescription filled at Walmart and the cost (even with his Part D) had increased from $14 to $175!!! We have called around, found a few places cheaper, around $150. Tried using Good Rx, most places don't take it, even with it still very expensive. Finally he tried a local independent pharmacy, and they said with his part D or Good RX the cost was over $100. I told the pharmacist I didn't understand why the price had gone up so much and then he offered a "cash" price of $40, so we got DH's refill for $40 for 3 months, more than we had paid last year but a lot better than $170. We are now looking into Canadian pharmacies recommended by his doctor for the next time he needs a refill.
Anyone else see drug costs skyrocket in the last few months? What is going on?
