Ms Contin Patient Assistance

I am on medicare in Wisconsin. I am on ms contin er 15mg tablets. I get them at cvs. I'm wondering if there is any way to get them cheaper? Seems like discounts aren't often allowed on medicare.

Hi Jet,

I'm not sure if Medicare allows patients to use pharmacy coupons in conjunction with their service, but I did want to add that MedsChat offers a free Rx Savings Card that can be used at over 60,000 pharmacies nationwide for an average discount of 15-75% off your medication. It might be worth presenting it at your next refill just to see what the dollar cost comes out to. If the savings outweighs what medicare provides, it may be practical to use it instead.

Another idea is to ask the pharmacy about any patient assistance programs that the manufacturer offers (if any).

I hope this helps and wish you good health!

Before Open Enrollment ends on Dec 7, 2017 check the Medicare Part D Plans that might have a lower price.

I have also put a link below that might be of help explaining Medicare Part D and DIscounts. A lot can depend on the pharmacy.

If you are low income, you may or may not qualify for Extra Help. If you do qualify each generic won't be more than $3.35 in co/pay in 2018. Brands won't be more than $8.25 in 2018. You might also want to apply for Medicare Savings Program. MSP might help with the cost of your monthly Medicare Premiums, co/pays and deductibles.
