We went to pick up all of the medications that I will begin taking on the 26th. When I called on Wednesday to see how much it was going to cost they told us that the total was $3955.12. We were told at the first consultation that the injections would be between $3000 and $4000 but that because of our situation that we could expect it to be closer to $3000. Needless to say when they told us how much it was I thought I was going to fall over. There goes the rest of our savings!!!
Well, today after work Dave and I went to this special pharmacy on the 4th floor of a medical building in Phoenix. She pulled out the stack of prescriptions to ring up, 15 in total. Some of them were for needles and syringes but most were for actual drugs of one kind or another. They said that they wanted to run my insurance because some of the medications were pain killers and things so maybe it would bring the price down. She ran the insurance and the new total was $2810.12! We had to put out $1145.00 less then we were expecting. I am so thankful that we were able to save that money. It was still a very large amount of money to spend on two weeks worth of medicine but I feel so lucky that we got this financial break. When every penny counts an extra $1145 is definitely a gift!
