A GOOD DAY!!
I had a customer come in for a prescription today that he normally pays cash for. It was for Omeprazole (prescription Prilosec). He normally payed $83.99 for a 30 day supply (30 pills). I signed him up for a free drug card and was able to reduce his cost to $36.95!!! He saved $47. I guess I like to pay it forward....
