The spread
2.6× estimated
Medicare pays 2.6× what pharmacies pay.

What to ask at the counter
None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.
- What is your cash price for 30 tablets? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
- If you have Medicare Part B: is this drug covered for me in this setting, and what is my share?
- These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
