It is a generic drug now. My pharmacy charges $34.00. I just started taking it again myself. I believe my last dose was in 1981. I do not remember what it cost then. My husband was in the military and I had a $2.00 copayment at that time.

I get mine at Rite Aide. I have insurance and I pay $20 for a month's supply which is 120 tablets. It would not matter how many tablets. It is by the month. Pretty crazy if you ask me. I am getting the generic 60 mg.

Test X Billed: $5,000 Allowable: $150 People without insurance are getting screwed and having to pay the full $5,000 that is being billed. I don't remember getting similar statements for medication, but insurance companies work out the same deal with the pharmacies that they do with the testing companies. I did get a really odd one for a recent stay in the hospital. As being in the hospital was not my choice, I refused most treatments that they wanted to give me as I was afraid they would delay my surgery. The total billed for the stay was $300. The total insurance paid: $1,350. They explained in a note at the bottom that even when the bill comes in below the contract price, they pay what they've negotiated. I'm surprised the hospital hasn't asked me to come back and stay a few more days. |

Just curious, but do any of you take the long acting mestinon. My doctor wants me on it at night, but my insurance won't cover it as they say the short acting one does the same thing. If I get up during the night, I just take another pill, otherwise I let it go until the morning.
