Lipitor 30 day supply for as low as $4 :-)

[frenchieinme]

There was a full page ad in our local newspaper stating one could buy a 30 day supply of Lipitor at one's local pharmacy for a small $4 co-pay. I thought they were kidding but nonetheless I contacted the Lipitor tel # given and applied for my wife to get a $4 co-pay Phifzer card.

Today I had her Lipitor Rx refilled for her 90 day/90 pill supply and guess what---they charged me $12 for her 90 day supply after I showed the pharmacy our Lipitor $4 co-pay card.

This is a far cry from her usual $60 co-pay charge. Lipitor is going generic in Dec and this is Phizer's attemot at keeping people on Lipitor to stay on Lipitor. Good newsd for us.

Thanks for the tip. Anybody that's not on Medicare or Medicaid can get the $4 copay by going to: https://www.lipitor.com/patients/LIPITORforYou.aspx

My cardiologist told me about this, and we switched from Crestor to Lipitor to take advantage of it.

My insurer would not support the Lipitor card, so I had to deal with a local pharmacy for this. Lipitor will cover up to $30 of the copay, to get your out-of-pocket copay down to $4. If the copay required is more than $34 they'll cover $30 of it, leaving you with more than $4 out-of-pocket.

The rub for me was that my insurer really wants you to use their mail order service, so they pretty much limit me to 3 months at a local pharmacy. After 3 months, they severely cut back their support, leaving me with a much larger copay. In the case of Lipitor, even with Phizer covering $30 of the copay, my remaining portion was considerably higher than the copay I'd had before with Crestor. So I've now switched back to Crestor through mail order.

Lipitor will have a generic competitor out there really soon. Pfizer must be trying to get those prescriptions written now so they continue selling for another year.

It's $54 not $34. They will subsidize up to $50 of the $54 to make your co-pay $4. That's what the ad in the paper says.
