Cut costs with longer-term medication supplies

If you have a PDP plan, ask your doctor to write your prescription for up to a 90-day supply, or up to a 100-day supply for MAPD plans, and make sure you get it filled at an in-network pharmacy.

That means fewer trips to the pharmacy.

Pay less for generics

Paying more for your prescription medications doesn’t always mean you get more. Ask your doctor about generics, which typically cost less than brand-name drugs and work just as well. You can find lower-cost alternatives, and easily check their side effects and letter grades in your regence.com account.
