Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I am a United Healthcare policy holder through my employer and Optum Rx is the contracted mail order pharmacy provider.  Just by chance I pulled up the Rx claims I have this year and noticed that I was paying much more—up to 10 times more—if I filled my prescriptions through Optum Rx than if I used a local pharmacy.  My example is one of my maintenance medications levothyroxine.  For a 90 day supply Optum Rx charged me $42.67. I could have got this at multiple local pharmacies for $12-45 for the same 90 day supply.  I could have got a 10 month supply for less than what I was charged by Optum Rx.

 

I have written United Healthcare and Optum Rx, a news agency, 2 newspapers and my employer.  Greed is why health care cost so much in America.
