Depending on your EHP plan, your copay for the highest-cost brand medications could be as much as $50 a month in 2011. If you and your family members take several medications, your cost can quickly add up to over $100 a month!   One way to save money is to look at the medications that you and your family are taking and see if there are less expensive options.   To do this, first review the EHP formulary to find generic and/or preferred-brand medications similar to medications that you’re currently taking, but with a lower copay.  Then review your medications with your doctor. You could drastically reduce your monthly pharmacy costs; in fact changing to lower cost medications on the EHP formulary may reduce your copay by 50%!

If you’re concerned about the rising cost of medications, you’re not alone. In 2010, more than one-quarter of US households reported that they had not filled a prescription due to cost. One in five had skipped doses of medicine for the same reason ^[1].  But skipping refills can negatively impact your health, cause more doctors’ visits, and even lead to hospitalizations.

 It’s important to stay healthy, and now you can save money at the same time.  For more information, contact EHP Customer Service at 1-800-261-2393.
