<p>No, of course you have no choice, swimcatsmom.</p>
<p>On our plan, if you get a three-month prescription by mail order, you pay a smaller co-pay than if you get three one-month prescriptions from the pharmacy. The difference is usually about $50, which I am willing to pay because of my concerns about temperature abuse. But in your situation, of course I would get the mail-order prescriptions.</p>
<p>Actually I think we can also pay a higher co-pay. But it is considerably higher (maybe double) and when you have a family member on about 11 different medications it really adds up. But I am thankful we have a prescription plan. We always check with the local pharmacist for pricing - There is a minimum charge and a couple of our co pays for mail order we discovered it was actually cheaper to pay the full out of pocket price at the pharmacy. Rare occurence though. Anyway i am going a bit off topic.</p>
