We assisted a client in reducing her out of pocket costs for Medicare prescription drugs simply by switching from buying 30 day supplies from her her local pharmacy to using Express Scripts, the mail order service used by Anthem Blue Cross. Her projected annual expense for copay, co-insurance, deductible and premium for the next 12 months will drop from $1,971 to $1,099.
After you switch to mail order, the reduction may even allow you to downgrade to a less expensive prescription drug plan, increasing your savings.
