Just wondering if anyone has used the PS Card for Malarone?
I did some checking on their site, and they're saying I can get 24 pills for anywhere from $171-ish to probably $200-ish (the site kept shooting me error messages).
Most of what I have seen on lymenet was saying that the cheapest they have found was $640 for a month's supply.
In any case, I will take the script, the PS Card and try to get a print-out of the screen with the price lists when I go to the pharmacy to fill this.

Costco has them for $459 for a months supply. You don't have to be a member to use the pharmacy.
I know this isn't what you're asking though.
UP for input!

I talked to the pharmacist, gave her both the prescription and the PS Card, and she told me they would only charge $60. I told her that HAS to be wrong, because I saw online it would be $700+. She insisted and insisted that it would only be $60. Maybe I should have had her fill it right away, even though I don't need it for a few weeks.
She alsi said my insurance would only charge $50 for it. I thought, yeah, maybe initially, but then would they come back and charge me the full price later?

Well, just as an FYI, I filled my script for malarone today at Rite Aid. I got 2 month's worth with my Rite Rewards program, and it cost me $427 for the 2 month's supply (one pill a day).
That was actually a bit cheaper than the PS Card, and definitely cheaper than it would have been with my insurance till I meet their deductible.
