I am in transition from one insurance to another, I was supposed to have my first fill appt tomorrow but I haven't heard from my new insurance yet. My question is does anyone know what a fill costs out of pocket? If I reschedule this I can't get seen until July 5th :( Thanks.

I've heard all different prices on that come through this forum. The best thing you can do is call your doctor's office & find out what they charge

I would definitely call the office and find out their charges.

For me, it costs $115. They charge me a $40 co pay when I walk in the door and if I get a full they charge me $75 more. :-(

My doctor charges $75 out of pocket for a fill, but I heard most charge around $100-$115 in my area

I've heard about $100 pretty consistently.

Thanks everyone. I did call the office yesterday twice, left two messages and no one called me back :( So I ended up going through the scheduling department and moving it out until July 5th.....so bummed and hope I can control these hunger pains until then :wacko:

Seems to me that you shouldn't have to wait three weeks for a fill. Don't they answer the phone? My suggestion.....KEEP calling. When I've needed a fill, I never waited more than 2-3 days. One day (luck of the draw), they got me in the same day.

Keep trying! As they say..... "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" (so to speak).

Good luck. I know how frustrated you must feel.

My dr charges a LOT. with my high deductible my oop is $425! That was a big shock to me so you are wise to reschedule until y know more!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
