If anybody orders medication online and has good experience with a particular company, I'd like to hear about it.

My generic crestor, been on it for a good while, is a $120 copay since our Rx plan changed. This is the first time I've had it filled this year. I get 90 days at a time. I was paying $10 for 90 days.

Thanks in advance.

@Behr, tough for me to know if the olive oil is congealing, the honey itself is thickening everything up or the whole mixture is. I’m not really fascinated by the idea of testing for pure olive oil (although I’ll probably test my cheap Pompeian when I get back to DC just for giggles. I am fascinated by how interested you are in it though. Don’t go crazy about that last sentence, it’s just interesting to see how much you’ve posted about it

Is the fascination a health thing? Curiosity?

Why the mixed emotions about feeling better it isn’t?

Yes on both and then some. It's what I do.

Not sure what you don't understand, it's pretty simple. Im trading being happy I've got 3 nice bottles of olive oil that I could have used for feeling I was right. AND I'm not 100% sure I am.

I just recently transferred my prescription strength Vitamin D-2 from my pharmacy to Blink Health. My insurance pays 100% for preventative medications, but 0% on everything else. Retail price was like $45 for a 90 day supply and I'm getting it from Blink for around $12 I believe.

All the light colors are chopped garlic, chopped ginger root, crushed red pepper seeds and congealed olive oil. The dark is red pepper flakes, whisked soy sauce and honey. That help?

As far as how much I've posted about this, I just thought I'd give the info for anyone interested. Im learning some of this for the first time and I knew this was a good place to get scrutinized on my info.

I've got books to that I get most of my culinary info from, but this is something that has came up just in the last couple of years and I have to use the internet, and it's hard to know what is good info and what's not. Even some of my magazines I trust are getting some stuff wrong.

I just got off the phone and was able to get it filled for $6.17 for 90 days at a local mom-and-pop's, "small time" pharmacy.

That was a big selling point of this Rx company when we negotiated the new contract last fall: eliminating the third-party Pharmacy Benefit Managers of the bigger chains and plugging the drain on our self-funded plan.

If you're interested, Google PBM sometime. That will blow your mind what is going on with a lot of these Rx costs. Most people don't even know their plan uses PBMs, and generally speaking the PBM gives the customer more inexpensive prices (and the customers like that part), but the PBMs absolutely freaking wipe out the $ of self-funded plans because of kickbacks and rebates.

I am going to send out an email to everyone in the county on our insurance, though, and tell them about these two companies you mentioned, Souce. I'm the guy responsible for passing along that info when I find it. I genuinely appreciate it.

Well I’m learning solely based on what your posting. I only use olive oil for cooking, but I’m interested in doing more with all you’ve posted recently

I actually appreciate the info. Sorry I can’t critique it

I've had pretty good luck with CVS.
