Until recently, one of Chase's medications came from a compounding pharmacy. After shopping around and around and around, the best price we could find for the medication was $126 a month and insurance reimbursed us $6. : ) One day after I called in for a refill, I remembered that really the only reason that we have the medication compounded is because Chase was unable to swallow a pill when he started the medication (immediately after birth). Then after speaking to the pharmacy and the insurance company, I realized that all the pharmacy was doing was crushing a tablet and putting it in a liquid form. So, I called Chase's cardiologist and asked if we could get his dosage in a pill form and we could!! So we got a few of the pills to see if Chase could swallow it. We gave it to him and he literally put it on his tongue, took a small drink of water and swallowed the pill!!! AMAZING! So now we get his rx at wal-mar.t for $4 a month!! Besides the fact that it saves us $120 a month, it's filled at a chain pharmacy. So, if we are out of town and I forgot his medicine or he needs a refill, I can get it with no problem. YAY!!!! This is huge!! We are so proud of Chase!!!
