I pay $7 or $15 per prescription depending on the newness of the medication.
GERD: Nexium Sinus: Rhinocort Allergies: Singulair, albuterol, Azmacort -- they have not worked this one out. all the above would be about $80 each I believe except perhaps the albuterol. I also take coumadin and ritalin, which would be somewhAt cheaper, but i have not priced them. In addition there is the rental on my CPAP, which runs $120 a month and is covered. I paid a one-time $75 copay for that. >About $50 a month or so, I don;t have an exact figure > >for ADD Med: Strattera >Asthma: Singulair >Allergies: Allegra > >it get's slightly higher when I have to refill inhalers or the stuff I use >when I nee dit > >Scott A.
