Have you purchased from Amazon Pharmacy when your drug insurer doesn't have a drug in its formulary?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33575points) 6 hours ago

My Medicare Part D insurer didn’t have a particular drug (Vitamin D high dose) in its formulary – they were giving me a huge runaround about what my options were.

Amazon Pharmacy does have the drug, at an incredibly cheap rate.

I’ve never bought from Amazon Pharmacy before. What’s been your experience with them?

Thanks for posting this. I’m interested to know myself. I didn’t know Amazon has prescription drugs.

Did you try goodrx for your regular pharmacy?

Nope. Not going there. EVER.
Not Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus either.

@JLeslie I’ll let you know. I ordered from them after dinner; should arrive Monday. Stay tuned.

@elbanditoroso It was the prescription D2, or just a high dose OTC, which is usually D3.

Iwouldn’t order from then either. Don’t need Amazon taking over all my life.
