My Twitter inbox continues to fill up with press releases about cities signing on to the Caremark discount drug program. So I decided to do some online comparison shopping. I chose Costco because they have an easy to use drug pricing tool.
Costco Caremark
Lipitor 20mg #30 $122.07 $138.25
simvastatin 10mg #30 $5.90 $41.68
Nexium 20mg #30 $166.28 $185.13
omeprazole 20mg #30 $15.18 $45.49
Plavix 75mg #30 $156.41 $172.59
I have a challenge for you. Find the drug from this top 200 drug by sales for 2008 list that costs less through the Caremark NLC program than through Costco. For the more adventurous, find the pharmacy that publishes the best prices.
