Consumer Reports: How to find affordable medication, avoid health coverage issues
WLS
Consumer Reports has some advice on how to get medicine for an affordable price when insurance drops a pharmacy from its network or it simply does not cover the drug prescribed.
Candida Vazquez needed a refill of her blood pressure medication, but she learned her pharmacy was dropped from her insurance network when she went to pick up her prescription.
"I told the pharmacy when I called them that my blood pressure was high, both because I didn't have my medication and for their audacity to put me through such back and forth," Vazquez said.
