I am in the process of getting my cobra insurance together and picking up a prescription. I wanted to see what my prescription was without insurance to compare and apparently it would be almost $400 without insurance! My other one is about $100, and I don't know about the one I use now and then for anxiety. So now my insurance premium seems a lot better!
Of course my old school district did not tell the company managing the cobra how much my premium should be so I have no idea what to pay. I just called and had this escalated. I am going to pay the full price and then get reimbursed for both prescriptions. I am glad I got a lump sum from the old job to manage this transition, if you are changing jobs it is good to have an emergency fund for all the complicated things!
