How to Save on Prescription Drugs is the essential handbook written by a physician that empowers patients to fight back against outrageous prescription drug costs. Dr. Jardini's twenty cost-saving methods explain how to eliminate unnecessary drugs, substitute appropriate affordable medicines, and obtain medications at a discount or even free. Case studies show how patients taking popular expensive drugs saved hundreds to thousands of dollars per year using this simple program. The book features an Expensive-Drug Survival Index that matches costly drugs to cheaper alternatives patients can discuss with their doctors. There is also a thorough explanation of the new Medicare Part D prescription benefit program, and how to take best advantage of these plans.
