6 Ways You Could Save on Prescriptions
Everyone wants to pay less for prescription drugs. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) makes it a reality with Rx Savings Solutions (RxSS).
RxSS finds more affordable prescription options that treat your conditions. You and your doctor decide what’s best for your health and budget.
Here are the six most common ways you can save money using RxSS:
- Different Drug, Same Treatment – There’s usually more than one medication available to treat a medical condition. RxSS shows you all of them, along with their costs.
- Same Active Ingredient, Lower Price – Get the same treatment with a generic (without the cost of a brand name).
- Same Drug, Different Pharmacy – Sometimes it’s as simple as getting a lower cost for your medication at another pharmacy. Use RxSS to check prices before your next fill.
- Same Drug, Different Form – The same drug can come in different forms. A capsule might cost more than a tablet, or a gel may cost more than a lotion.
- Same Drug, Split in Half – Higher doses of medications often cost the same as lower doses. Switch to a larger dose than you need and split the pill in half to save money.
- Same Ingredients, Different Pills – Some drugs have two active ingredients and one big price. Take them separately at the same time for a lower cost.
