Stop overpaying for prescriptions.
The same pill can have four different prices. Most insurance denials are paperwork. Nobody at the counter is going to volunteer any of it. I wrote down everything I used to tell people, one question at a time.

The paper system I wish every patient walked up to the counter with.
Ten printable pages: a medication master list, a weekly dose checklist, a refill calendar, a symptom journal, a vitals log, and the ten questions that save the most money at the pharmacy. Print as many copies as you need.
What you would learn if you stood behind the counter for twenty years.
Written in plain language for the person picking up the prescriptions: patients on three or more medications, and the adult children managing a parent's.
Paper still works best at the kitchen table.

Twenty years as a certified pharmacy technician, most of it at the counter where the price comes up and the conversation starts. I watched the same problems repeat: a daughter who couldn't tell the ER what her mom takes, a patient paying three copays when two would do, a refill that ran out on a Sunday. Almost none of it was medical. It was organization, and knowing what to ask. This site is everything I used to say across the counter, written down.
