After calling for a routine prescription refill, Craig Elliott got a rude shock: His bill was going up fivefold.
The 44-year-old piano tuner and guitar instructor, who has health insurance, used to pay $20 for a three-month supply of his generic epilepsy drug as a member of Walgreen’s Prescription Savings Club. But recently, the price shot up to more than $100, forcing him to order month by month.
“I’ll get by … (but) I don’t like now having a larger bill every month,” Elliott said.
