I pay $15.00 for a 30 day supply and I take a generic not the Aromasin brand name. I just went on Medicare but I was paying that amount prior to Medicare as well.

nancy,

I belong to an all inclusive HMO, and did before Medicare as well, so my whole medical/prescription coverage works a bit differently than most traditional insurance in the US. Are there ways to shop around for better prices or can you contact the manufacturer to see if they have discount programs?

I'm going to be starting exemestane here in a couple of months once my ovarian suppression kicks in. I'm pretty sure I saw it was no cost. My Cigna plan through work has a list of preventative meds that are free. My tamoxifen was always free through them. I know that's not typical probably. That said, my out of pocket is going up and other things are about to cost more, unfortunately.

Under my previous prescription insurance, I paid nothing for exemestane. Now under Medicare, my prescription plan (not through Medicare though but through husband's ex-employer) charges me $47 for a 90 day supply and this is the generic version from Breckinridge. However, after 2 failed attempts, in the past 5 years, with other AI's due to severe side effects, I'll gladly pay for it for the next 1.5 to 4.5 years (7 or 10 years total). I don't know why it is so expensive for even the generic versions but found out during a recent hospitalization that it is non-formulary due to cost and had to bring in my supply from home.

I have Cigna and it is much less(generic) in CVS.
