I found an app on my phone for coupons for meds. That saved me $fifty on one script last refill. Have you looked into anything like that?
it's hard to play with discounts n coupons etc. while having your insurance medicare. Yeah, they have extra plans that cover GAP and stuff but they cost ya a higher monthly fee. And in my experience with medicare billing it takes months and months to clear up after they screw things up with payments of things. Nothing done thru the gubment is quick. We do have different med cards fer discounts but sometimes it ain't werth the gubment hassle of fighting with them. I dunno if that made any sense to you. I have fought and declared victory of other things and medicare people but it was a horrific battle I don't really like to deal with if I don't have to :unsure:

Good thought! I have one Rx that's not generic. :( Soon, I hope; the patent runs out this year. Anyway, the manufacturers often have discount programs. And there are others, just Google "prescription discount card." You can usually print it and it's good right away. I have one that's good for $25 off every month. It never expires. So my $100 Rx only costs $75. Also try https://www.pparx.org. Lots of options.

I have done the manufacture "discount" cards. The avg saving for me with those was about $three. I found a site that compares tons of cards and sorts them by meds and location. Give it a try. I was surprised it saved me as much as it did. Goodrx.com It didn't lower all of mine but it did lower the expensive ones quite a bit.

grrr I understand. {{huggles}} So frustrating, I know. I don't know what's different about Medicare, but with my insurance my cost is $100. They don't care how I pay it apparently, because they haven't gigged me for using a coupon. So, I have the $25 discount card and I pay $75. You're saying you end up paying the same no matter what, because Medicare charges more if you pay less at the counter?

I am on government insurance as well. These coupons are just that, coupons. I hand it to the pharmacist and they take money off. Shrug. Just a thought, it works for me. :)

Not really, what I'm saying is that they screw up often and don't care how long it takes to clear it up cuz they aren't the ones suffering. One decimal point punched into their puters wrong and they take many many many months to fix it. I've had it happen before. Even social security is not fool proof. They have done wrong in the past so many times it ain't funny. But yet again, they take their sweet ... time to fix the trouble. I had gotten a disablility check once for thirty-five dollars. I went to the ss office and there was a line out the door for the same thing of people getting the wrong amounts. It happens all the time. Consider yourself lucky if you're on any kind of gubment craps and never have trouble with them :)

Oh, I get that completely! I dealt with the Navy for over 20 years, I've dealt with the IRS, unemployment... yeah, hurry up and wait if they owe you money. But they have the power - and use it - when you owe them. They want it yesterday. grrrrr

RESET!!!

(Game started 5/5@ 10:07 AM EDT)

As of Wednesday 5/7 @ 2:45 PM EDT
Evolution -- Round #27
Pick 2 number(s) from 2001 - 2400

Please include the round number with your picks!
and
DO NOT CLICK ON THE BOARD



1....JUST one set of pickins per round

Check the board for available numbers:
Link to Gotvapes Game Board!

Colored cells are taken.
Winning number(s) are chosen via Random.org at game end.

The Prize:
Zmax Mini and a Bottle of Flux




= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =



A 'liked' post does not mean you've got that number (or that you yourself are even liked). The first person to pick a number gets that number whether it's marked on the board or not. When we 'Like' your picks that means one of the five helpers are marking them on the board. If there are any mistakes/conflicts, we will reply to your post. So check back a while after you pick to see if we noted any problems.


*Please do NOT edit your pick posts.

*If someone already took your number, or an error was made, please WAIT for a helper to post the error. Use "Reply With Quote" to the helper's post with your new pick.


* These are simple rules that MUST be followed. Failure to follow these 3 MAIN rules will result in the current round picks null and void and a "round timeout".....NO EXCEPTIONS


A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.

Rounds may last anywhere from 16 seconds to 36 hours based solely on our whim. There are no rules. Life is unfair. Good luck!

We call it a "reset" when we go into a new round. You still keep all of your previous picks. If you miss a round you do not get to back and make up picks. You can make 1 set of picks for the current round ONLY

The game ends sometime Saturday afternoon/evening. We then announce the winning pick.

Play to win! There will be no PIFing of number picks. The winner of any contest can PIF the prize if they choose to do so Here.

ALL Birthday Poopies will get additional picks on their ECF listed Birthday :w00t: (1 birthday per year please :D)

Theses aren't rules (but they really are). They are guidance (that must be followed). And they may change at any time. Without prior notice. Maybe even without ensuing notice.
