Remember, when you fill a prescription with a generic drug, you will pay less when compared with a formulary brand name or nonformulary brand name medication. To save on your out-of-pocket costs, it's important to take advantage of the resources and tools available to help you get the right medication at the best price.
To get started, take advantage of resources offered through Express Scripts, JHU's prescription plan administrator:

Talk to your doctor. Interested in finding a generic equivalent to your current brand name medication? Talk to your doctor to see if one is available. He or she may be able to provide a recommendation for a lower-cost alternative with the same health effects as the brand name drug.
