Nexium - Purple Plus Savings Card

[Links2me]

I just used this on my prescription today! Considering that we just got new health insurance and my co-pay went from 30 to 65 on this drug, the card helped tons.

FYI...there is now a generic for NEXIUM! However, the pharmacist told me that the cost of the generic would not be that much of a savings at first. She said it takes a while before the price of a generic is reduced. Check with your pharmacist for more details.

Well with most people's insurance the actual store price of the generic vs brand won't matter. However, most people's copays minus the card will still be cheaper than their generic copay. For instance, I have coinsurance on my brands and copays on my generics. So I pay $30.37 - $30 discount for 58 pills. My price for 60 generic pills would be $14. Just look into all your options and don't be afraid to call your insurance company and ask for prices. I tend to use my insurance's website so I can try lots of different ways. Most people only have to worry about cost per month but because I have coinsurance, I can get any amount of pills I want and pay 20% of their actual cost (not the store price) so 58 pills can be MUCH cheaper than 60 because of price tiering. Okay that's enough of my little rant. Thanks for letting me know that it went generic though, I'll have to switch to that after my discount card expires....

I have the card and used it the last time I filled by 60 count/1 month rx and saved $30.00
