return2ozmaThe US healthcare system is broken...
Jo MiranMake it make sense.
The price was bullshit to begin with. The cream probably sells over the counter for about $2.50 so OP still ended up paying 10x the price.
GodortIts a tax scheme.
The pharmacy claims this medication is worth $275, insurance covers $40, and then they get as much as they can out of the patient while claiming the rest as a loss they can write off on their taxes.
US healthcare is stupid.
It’s also a scheme for the pharmacies to get as much as they can from the insurance companies.
