I got my Medicare card five years ago when I turned 65 and chose Cigna as my supplemental insurance for prescription drugs.
I’ve stayed with Cigna ever since, but recently decided to review my coverage to see if there’s a better deal out there.
BMW riding friend Charlie Parsons, a retired pharmacist, recommended a woman who works in an insurance agency in Paragould and I consulted with her earlier this week.
She determined an outfit named Wellcare offers a better deal and will save me about $190 in annual premiums.
I tried to sign up with them yesterday morning, but their systems were on the fritz. I called back this morning and spent a tedious half-hour answering questions over and over until it developed that I can only use pharmacies from their preferred list.
And Sam’s Club is not on their list.
The Jonesboro Sam’s Club pharmacy is the friendliest, most efficient and competent pharmacy I have ever dealt with and I’d rather pay more for my insurance that suffer the indignity and inconvenience of going somewhere else.
I’m sticking with Cigna.
Come October 15 2017 Sam's Club will no longer be part of Cignas pharmacy network.
