Free BC in August

Okay, I read the article, and I sound so ignorant but please help me out... 

I started BC in September or October since I got married in November. I went to the Dr. who told me that I could get the generic pill (TriNessa) from Kroger for $8/month (I buy 3 months at a time) but I obviously needed a prescription. Coming up this August/September (whenever I run out of BCP) I was planning to go to the Dr. again for another year-worth prescription. 

However, by August, do I still need a prescription to get it? I have el cheapo insurance right now and if I can avoid the Dr., I will. 

*I'm more concerned about scheduling a dr. appointment and paying for that than the actual bcp. But, whatever saves me money is what I'd like to do...

Re: Free BC in August

  • Yeah, you'll still need a prescription. All this does is eliminates any copay you were previously paying, eliminating the NEED for the cheap generic.

    My doctor actually was the one that informed me that if I tell Kroger I don't have insurance, I would be able to get the cheap stuff without a copay. A lie? Yes. Flame away.

    Now I'm wondering if I should switch bcp or stay with what I'm on since my body is already used it by now.

  • Sqqquuueeee!

    Is it weird I'm totally excited about this?

    I've been wanting the IUD for quite some time now but I'm cheap. I'll admit I was a little reluctant before I saw all of the reviews on this board.

    *does happy dance*

    I would keep it, and in August tell them I got insurance. Save that 8 bucks a month.

  • Thanks for your help - $8 saved is better than $8 spent (and getting the same thing)!
