Check your Express Scripts formulary to see if Crestor (rosuvastatin) is covered under your plan. Generic rosuvastatin is often significantly cheaper than brand-name Crestor, and Express Scripts typically offers lower prices for generic medications. Consider switching if your doctor approves.
Utilize Express Scripts’ mail-order pharmacy. Mail-order pharmacies usually provide greater discounts on prescription medications, including Crestor, than retail pharmacies. This can save you money on each refill.
Explore Express Scripts’ patient assistance programs. Many pharmaceutical companies offer programs to help patients afford their medications. Express Scripts may have partnerships that simplify accessing these programs for Crestor. Check their website for details.
Negotiate your prescription price. Contact Express Scripts directly to inquire about possible discounts or negotiations, especially if you have a high copay. They might offer alternative solutions to lower your out-of-pocket expenses.
Consider a 90-day supply. Purchasing a 90-day supply instead of a 30-day supply frequently lowers the per-pill cost, reducing overall expenses for the year.
Compare prices at different pharmacies in your Express Scripts network. While using the mail-order pharmacy is often best, retail pharmacies within your network may have varying prices. Before each refill, check their prices to find the lowest cost option.
