@beejenigma Hospital pharmacies by default are set up to cover in-patient medications, which are billed/handled differently to out-patient costs. So there is not the same awareness of what is covered and how to code.

Walgreens varies by pharmacy - this story dates back a few years. My prescription was covered there. My friend was not, for the reasons I explained in a previous post. My local Walgreen's pharmacist was kind enough to find a discount program and share the information with me so I could help her get a discount. You might want to ask your pharmacist to "run it through" GoodRx and any other discount program they participate in to get your a discount. You are allowed to use GoodRx even if you have Medicare.
