People from the US will understand...Dr. wanted me to try a new medication.  Did some checking on my health insurance and my out of pocket was going to be $100.00 for a 90 day supply.  Went online and signed up for a coupon and though it took a while for the pharmacy to work it out, it was worth the half hour I spent waiting for them to figure it out.

Cash price $1,928.00.  Copay with my insurance, $100.00, less coupon - zero $.

I feel like I won big on a scratch ticket.

The max here is $100 per year (apart from a very, very few specialized meds). You pay $5 for each prescription or refill. Once you’ve paid out $100, you pay nothing for your meds until the next year. No coupons needed.

For comparison, NZ$100 is equal to US$70.
