Amazon Pharmacy

I use it and found it very easy to navigate. When I transferred my med from one Rite Aid pharmacy to another it was a disaster. It took a week before they could find it. And they are not very nice at the new pharmacy (the Rite Aid I used closed). So I looked into Amazon Pharmacy. They got it transferred within the hour and it was shipped the next day after they verified my insurance. I pay almost half of the cost through Prime on the 3 month auto ship.
So far so good.

Look into Mark Cubans Cost Plus Drugs. His pharmacy company is the one all the PBMs are worried about (competition wise). He’s doing some really great things for the consumer.

Look into GoodRx.  We have found most of our medication on there to be cheaper than insurance, even without a GoodRx membership.

We use it for our maintenance meds. No issues with billing our insurance (though 1 med is a few $ cheaper without ins). The only kinda issue is that they request refills from the dr way sooner than I’d like. I have one med (imitrex) which the insurance thinks should last a month (9pills) but if I needed to max out everyday the order is a 2 day supply. So Amazon consistently tries to be prepared for early refills and that confuses my dr so every few months they call me and ask why I’m going thru so many.

Yes but I actually see this as a way for them to work their way into the drug business, create a monopoly and then raise the prices.  Yes, competition is good but Amazon has been around for a while with this pharmacy and it isn't creating cheaper drugs.  Amazon is too big and too much of our daily lives are influenced by them.  I could be talking out of my ass but that is how I feel about it.  I am very lucky that my meds are very inexpensive and "knock on wood" that I don't need some very expensive life saving medicine.  It makes me incredibly angry when those who need those meds, cannot afford them or find them.  

We can't use it because they don't have a compounding pharmacy. One of dd's meds is a compound liquid and is $35. I would love to not pay $35 a month but it is a level 3 med on the list which means max of $35 co-pay. We don't pay more than that for any high level drug.

i agree with you on this.  any way to save money can't all be bad.  i like that amazon is constantly evolving.  they are now rolling out their health-care-on-demand plan. i'm sure this was a natural progression from offering prescription services.  for a low price per month, you will have access to doctors in your area for routine office visits.  i think this will great for many who may be uninsured for whatever reason. 

i think amazon is positioning itself to be a one-stop shop.  if they haven't done it already, selling cars and houses will be next. if it saves me money, i would not be opposed to it.
