For one of these couples, my favorite one, the husband has insurance coverage but his wife does not. (I don't know the circumstances). The wife has an array of very expensive meds. We gave her the standard store discount, and searched for some coupons online from the manufacturers. Even doubly-discounted, the total is around 300 bucks per month. <br />I felt horrible ringing this dear man up for his wife's meds, and explained how we tried to bring the costs down. He grasped my hand and gave me the most genuine thank you. I tear up every time I think about that. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793561531129775733.post-78067644573313278782012-10-09T22:07:10.214-07:002012-10-09T22:07:10.214-07:00When I did MTM's in school, I did my best to f...When I did MTM's in school, I did my best to find ways to get rid of medication.

I have seen this at my pharmacy, too. I thought MTMs were supposed to evaluate their conditions and medications and try to decrease the complexity and confusion about their medications.
