How to Reel In Soaring Pill Prices

摘要

Dick Levitt Used To spend $1,800 a year in insurance co-payments for the 14 medications he and his wife were taking regularly. Then Levitt, an entrepreneur in Ontario, Calif., got creative. He had his wife ask her doctor for the double-strength version of her blood-pressure drug. With a pill splitter, Levitt cuts the pills in half and gets two months' worth for the price of one. He also fills the prescription through Drugstore.com. Now the Levitts are saving $92 a year just on that one medication and about $600 a year on their total drug bill.
