Prescription Drugs Goodrx.com and Singlecare.com

If you have medical insurance or do not have insurance it can become a horror story when the medicine you need costs out in space.

You need the medicine, otherwise, the doctor would not have prescribed it in the first place.

Sometimes, the medication can be replaced with another medication the same thing but costs less.

One medication can have many names and with each name a different charge.

But I have found out recently that there is hope. Two websites can help people like me and you that are on a small social security income.

The two websites are www.rx.com and www.singleacare.com

Now, these two websites need a little work. They can be downloaded to your cell phone.

On their website, you can find your medication and then you can scroll through the different pharmacies that take this website. You can print a coupon or use the one on your cell phone app.

This is a great option for you to know where to go and how much it is going to last.

I truly recommend these two websites when you get hit in the wallet for a ridiculous charge for your medication.

Thank you for reading my article. Let me hear from you.

Medicare Blunders For You To Prevent

If you have Medicare the way to find out if you are going to be charged for a procedure or for anything you use your medical insurance for is read this.

First of all, your doctor prescribes some type of procedure for you to have either in his office or at an outpatient surgery center. The doctor’s office receives the authorization for you to have this procedure.

What is it going to cost you?

You think because you have an HMO or other type of insurance that it will be covered.

Don’t assume anything.

The only way to find out for sure is to get the CPT and ICD codes from your doctor’s office  and call your insurance company. In this way, you should have an accurate amount that will be billed to you or it might not be exact but you will have an idea.

When the procedure is over and the bills come in you won’t stress over the copay that was the patient’s responsibility.

All this information is in my book Medicare and Other Health Insurances.
