I'd be interested in knowing what different pharmacies ultimately charge the various insurance companies for generic drugs.<p>During a job switch I had a couple of weeks were I was covered, but before I got my new insurance ids I paid full price (then reimbursed in full afterward.)<p>A very common generic drug I had a $10 co-pay for, was $139 without insurance at the chain pharmacy I went to. Is this ultimately what the insurance company is paying out?<p>I was shocked. I thought the generic would be mass-produced and only cost, maybe, a few dollars over my $10 co-pay. I suppose of that $139 dollars, only a tiny fraction was the actual drug price; the rest goes into salaries for the pharmacists, business costs and profit. It still seemed pretty outrageous to me.<p>If a company like Amazon ends up only charging back to the insurance company a lot less, on a mass scale, it would hopefully reduce overall insurance costs.
