Tell the druggist that you need an insurance receipt - he can print you up one from the pharmacy computer - they do this all the time. Send in both.

The two websites I use (to pay my copay) are:

optimizerx.com

and

internetdrugcoupons.com

Good luck!!

Also, if you don't have insurance, you can sign up for a discount card at freedrugcard.org

Ps, these coupons/cards cannot be used for those on tricare, medicare, medicaid and usually but always cannot be used in Massachusetts

Rep me if I helped! (I worked as a pharmacy tech for 3 1/2 years so I know how to save money on rx's!)

Try CVS. They have a lot of printable coupons like $15/$75 and $10/$50. Plus, you can pay with extracre bucks which are often easy moneymakers.

I have bought a lot of meters and earned free ECBs, and have rolled a lot of these into test strips to give along with the donations.

I used to work at a pharmacy to pay my college tuition, when someone came in that either had insurance that wouldn't cover diabetic supplies or no insurance, I told them to go to the following websites or google "free drug card" (just be careful - some are fake and others use false advertisement - the two I used to recommend the most are below)

They normally give you a 10-30% discount but you do have to get an RX from your doctor in order to use the card.

Try:
Free drug card - download prescription drug card
Welcome To Together Rx Access


Also, in addition to using the discount card (with RX), fill your rx for them at cheaper stores that have pharmacies (ie. Walmart or grocery stores in your area - believe it or not, many of them have cheaper rx prices than the classic Walgreens/CVS/RiteAid/etc)

HTH!

Thanks for the responses to the test strips. What about the drug cards? I went to the site and filled out the information. They are printing now. I do have United Health Care insurance, but our insurance changed since Jan. 1st. The strips used to cost us $0, they are now quoting us $60. Can I use the card and not say I have insurance if it is a better deal, or is that illegal??? Thanks bunches! ~Cindy

Now since your primary will cover it AT ALL, YMMV here. Some techs that are certified and actually deal with back billing and whatnot will refuse to let you use anything other than your primary insurance. Other techs that just don't know or don't care will let you use whichever is cheaper. Luckily, just hope that you get a nice one at some point (hopefully the first fill) because once they choose whichever card to bill, it'll default to that one every time until someone manually changes it. You could always hand them the discount card and say something like can you use this card since my insurance co told me they'll no longer cover my strips? Most techs wouldn't take the time to bother to check if they actually do or not and again, some just might not care. I always let people use whichever was cheaper but I've had one or two techs since I've quit and moved across state that have denied me using a discount card instead of my primary insurance - my answer to that is just use one pharmacy that knows about my primary insurance and all my rx's that are cheaper with just the discount, I take to another pharmacy that only knows about the discount card. They're going to lose out on some of my business now..oh well
