Soooo the price was $100 for a 90 day supply 90ct 1mg finasterode that I will split into halves. With the goodrx gold it came out to $29 another $5 for needles and syringes not bad…

costplus will charge 8.47 for a 90d supply of 5mg fin.
so 180d is 8.47x2
believe they ship to your house too (but you pay for shipping)

20¢ more but no shipping.

OTOH 5mg is pretty risky for crashing DHT, even quartered a slightly bigger piece is 2mg....

You can just email them the handwritten script?

I believe your doctor needs to send it in
https://www.costplusdrugs.com/contact-your-doctor/

The rule of thumb I like to follow is
(1) If insurance covers, always use insurance
(2) If insurance covers nothing (like mine), look for generic
(3) If generic exist, check Costplus
(4) If generic don't exist, check Goodrx & Amazon pharma
That being said, I always compare prices against India pharma before making a decision

I believe costplus has the cheapest no insurance coverage sglt2 as well, not sure how I'm going to get it prescribed tho :/

You pick from a long list of providers each time. I try to stick with the "enthusiastic" ones happy to write 90 day scripts (mention it AFTER they agree to write it, "it's cheaper for me as a 90 day fill, would you mind?'") because the default is 30. Most will do 2 prescripts, some 3. I've been lucky, but I have heard some are assholes who are over cautious with everything, I go for the nurse practitioners usually,

And OFC, know where you want it sent into first.

Were you referring to goodrx here? I just tried them a few minutes ago and I was never given any options for a doctor/pa/np. A doctor did show up just to tell me that they will not prescribe me anything because it was a general visit rather than specific visit.

For example, he wanted me to make a hair visit for finasteride 1mg (5mg not an option) and he said they do not prescribe minoxidil pills at all.

He also stated he will not prescribe any BP meds if I havent taken them in the last 2 weeks. I was trying to get Amlodipine 5mg and Telmisartan 40mg.

I guess ill just have to wait for my normal doctor but I cant see him till October... unless there is another service that is a bit easier to deal with?

There are other prescription discount cards. Just call and ask pharmacies "I'm a cash payer, do you have any prescription discount programs you use that can get the price down?".

Most do, but will not offer if you don't ask.

I learned this when I asked the pharmacist if he used me GoodRx code, and he said they used another program that was lower. He said they run cash prescripts through them all and use the cheapest result. That's like one in a million. Walmart happily told me cash price for 10 mg Cialis was $1200 for 90, and $900 for 30 Modafinil. (before I ever knew of things like GoodRx).

Oh ive used cash prices for years and years… goodrx was just always the best…

Pushhealth is quick but costs some money… like $100 per visit… includes the script… no controlled stuff tho…

I’ve had zero problems getting scripts for whatever i wanted through the online providers at Sesame health. Visits are only $29 if you happen to have a Costco membership

This worked well today with Sesame the doctor prescribed me minoxidil 2.5mg but was only willing to prescribe a 30 day supply. Do I now have to make another appointment with him next month or can I just request refills from here on through the pharmacy app.

God damn that sucks.

I usually give them a speech about the reason I'm using them is because I lost my job and insurance, and a 90 day prescription is much cheaper.

That said, they may give it to you after the first month, report no sides, and ask. Also, you should ask if you can be increased to 5mg (whether you want it now or not), so a 90 day prescription will be 180 2.5mg tabs. (there are no 5mg tabs in the US).

The other thing I've noticed is that if you have a primary care doc, even if they were reluctant to proscribe it initially, if you say "An online provider has prescribed me Minoxodil (show them the bottle) , it's working well, but I'd prefer all my prescriptions be handled by you, would you mind taking over this one?" they'll go with it.

They only offer 2.5 and 10mg apparently I told I used like 3 years ago and stopped but had been noticing thinning hair and wanted to start again…. I asked for the 10 and to split it but he only offer 60x 2.5mg and told me to take it twice a day…. If I have to do another appointment to get the 10mg and a 90day supply I will…

Maybe I should try with an RN next time instead of a doctor.

I find the nurse practitioners to be the easiest. Still, once you're "in" with a certain drug, resistance to refills or larger doses tends to fall away with any practitioner. It's like they're not worried about liability any more since some other doc said it was ok first.

Back to post my Goodrx gold review.

Signed up for gold using the trial coupon on first page today.

They have categories for different "visits", the medication I wanted was "refill" only so I ended up doing a general visit.
Was not able to select a medical provider.
Had to do a video call, which I waited ~1 hour for.
You are either there or not when the provider is available.

Did not get what i wanted. Mine's off-label which makes it harder...
Out ~20$ but the most annoying part for me was the wait for the visit.
Don't think I'm using this service again.

I don't think Ive seen a telemedicine service allow you to select a doctor/medical provider upfront. The exception seems to be Push Health where you had to actually message support to be allocated to a specific provider (Also seems to be the most expensive telemedicine service).

Sounds like GoodRx Care has gone downhill.

Sesame definitely lets you choose the provider. I selected a medicine refill appt and was given over 60 providers to choose from with available appointments 30 mins from now all the way to 3AM. $29 if a costco member. .
