Local pharmacy. Not a big chain. I was excited that there was a local option since I moved here. Unfortunately I will not be using them.

When pharmacies sign up to take insurance they agree to accept a certain price for medication. Sometimes not often but like in my case they agreed with my insurance company to accept about $60 less then their cost. This is just the price of doing business in the pharmacy world. Most places take the loss because they do make money on other meds and items purchased while your at the store. In my case they told me that I would have to pay the $60 difference plus the co-pay of $30. So they wanted me to pay $90 for a script they signed a contract for to accept my co-pay. I declined to pay 3 times what I should because they signed up on a bad deal.

I do try and support local business whenever possible. I would have even paid $60 so they could have broke even on that script and they would have made money on my other 6 scripts. But for them to ask me to pay that much for 1 script was a little off-putting.

It's too bad too. They seemed like a nice place and I was dealing with the business manager so I just declined and moved on. Hopefully not too a big box store.
