Yes, you read that correctly...
Luke is now taking a very expensive brand name medicine (the generic, which the insurance will pay for, doesn't work...) And the pharmacy with the lowest price on a 30 day supply is downtown. So, we have them mail it.
Last month, Luke ordered said meds more than a week in advance of needing the refill. When it came time for the refill, no meds. On the phone, the pharmacy assured Luke it had been mailed a week previously, but they also said it could take up to ten days. So we decided to wait. As several days passed, still no meds- and Luke's health was getting worse.
Friday evening, still no meds. A phone call to the pharmacy brought worse news. The shipment had mistakenly been sent to a different state! But it was on its way back... :(
So Saturday morning brought a trip downtown for a 10 day supply.
As we came home, I started to do some mental math. The 10 day supply * 3 did NOT equal the same price as the 30 day supply. It was over $100 lower.
As the saga continued for another week without the original shipment arriving, I prepared for yet another trip downtown. However, Luke and I asked the pharmacy if they would be willing to run some cost comparisons for us...
What a blessing! It turns out that a 5 day supply is just over $5!!! And the pharmacy is willing to ship to us every 5 days! For no extra charge!
We will now be saving HUNDREDS of dollars EVERY MONTH just because Luke's pills were lost in the mail!!!
What a great blessing! The Lord does hear and answer prayers! (even in some most unusual ways.)
