Yea, it's not a panacea but it sure helps in large part due to the amazing pharmacies in Oregon that participate. It's free to join, takes just a minute too. Go to www.opdp.org or call 800-913-4146 to enroll. You will get an I.D. card in 5 days with a list of the participating pharmacies. And say thanks to your Oregon State legislators for bringing you this program! Average savings are 45%, the BEST savings are on generics! The only requirement is that you reside in Oregon.

It's called EquivaMeds and it helps you find equivalent medications (not necessarily generics) for the condition you have. It doesn't cover all medications and is limited to mostly oral (tables or capsules), but it does cover a lot of maintenance medications. EquivaMeds finds these options, provides some comparative pricing, and then provides a way to send the information directly and privately to your doctor so that you two can start a dialog about the costs of the medications you are taking. If you both decide the options are worth trying, your doctor can write a new script; if not you don't change. Either way, the result is that you know you've got the lowest cost medication for your condition. It is available for free right now. Go to www.equivameds.com and if you choose to register use promo code 78483248 instead of entering a credit card. Feel free to distribute to others you think could use help reducing their prescription drug costs. It works if you have insurance or not.
