Target Prescription Program ($4 Generic) - who is eligible?

[Kim&Chris]

Can anyone get a generic Rx for $4, or is this program specifically for the uninsured or Medicare/Medicaid recipients?

 

[Christine]

It is for everyone. Wal-Mart and other pharmacies also offer similar programs.

 

[Kim&Chris]

Thanks!

Yep! We actually go to Kroger and WalMart and ask them to run it both ways to see which is cheaper. It depends on the meds.

Also if you are going to your primary care doctor -tell them if at all possible you would like something off the 4 dollar list.
They will try to accommodate you.

My DH says K-Mart (believe it or not) has a better 4 dollar list that some other pharmacies.

And you can ask your MD to write out the RX for 90 days instead of 30 days, and then you only have to go pick them up every 3 months! ( but you still would pay the $4 /month price, so you would pay $12 for the 3 months- it just saves you time *** you don't have to go every month to refill your rx).

At WalMart they are now doing the 3 months for $10. I think I heard Kroger was starting also.

I must be living under a rock I never knew these great programs were out there! Thanks everybody!!

Target has reduced rates for 3 months as well.

When these programs started, I asked Target and Walmart about getting our meds under this plan. Only certain meds are covered, and ours aren't. Please check and see if the med you are taking is in the $4.00 range before getting too excited over the deal.

Our family has about 6 to 8 prescriptions to fill every month and a few of them are the $4.00 ones. What we do is have the doctor's office call in new prescriptions to Target every month because about once a month in the Sunday paper Target ad, they have a coupon for a $10.00 gift card for a new presciption. We have friends and neighbors who save the coupons for us and we get from $60.00 to $80.00 a month in Target gift cards.
There was a coupon in last Sunday's paper.

I recently used target to fill my dogs medicine. Monday I had to put my dog to sleep , she was very ill from a tumor in her heart and was on four medications. One of which my vet was charging 60.00 for 60 pills. I looked on the target website and it was under the 4.00/10.00 generic list . I called the pharmacy and asked them if they fill medications for dogs and they said sure as long and my vet calls it in or gives me a prescription. So I called my vet and asked them to please call it in to target. They were very nice about it and knew I had just spend a ton of money on testing for my dog and my vet bills were getting really high. I paid 10.00 for 90 pills at target. I know things are tight now for most everyone and wanted to share this info in hopes it could save someone else some money.

That's incredible. I don't know anyone who has ever been able to pay less than $60 for their dogs meds. Kudos to Target. This is great news for dog owners.

Also, if you get a Target credit card and pay for your perscriptions with it after every 10th perscription filled you get a 10% off for the day coupon. That is a nice bonus for us as well.

So that's why my meds are so cheap! LOL! I never knew there was this program. I just though my medication was really cheap for some reason. My co-worker takes the same med and gets hers filled at Walgreen's and it was so much more expensive. We could never figure out why!

 

[manning]

I understand Costco has very good prices.

We started using WalMart on some of our scripts because our insurance was outrageous.

 

[Planogirl]

I get two of my meds for just $4.00 each at Wal-Mart.

Use Wal-Mart for meds because they is four dollars.
