Medication cost comparison helper
Pick a few medications that seem expensive or hard to afford and compare prices across pharmacies or discount programs. The goal is not perfection; it’s to get a clearer picture to bring to your prescriber or pharmacist.
For each medication, write the strength and quantity, then record prices from different sources (pharmacies, discount cards, mail order, etc.).
| Medication (name, strength, quantity) | Source 1 (pharmacy/program) |
Source 2 | Source 3 (optional) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Use this as a conversation starter: “We checked prices and this medication is especially expensive for us. Are there safe alternatives or ways to reduce the cost?”
