    My script was covered by insurance but I buy out of pocket to avoid the over pricing these pharmacies charge to insurance. I know 4 1ml vials cost more than the 10ml vial paying out of pocket. Nit really sure what they charge the insurance co. But I know my copay for 4 syringes was gonna be 12 bucks so there's no telling what they were gonna charge the insurance for those alone.

    I think they use the insured to cover the cost of the uninsured in a lot of cases. Example being my diabetic grandmother. She could buy a box of insulin syringes for 60 bucks out of pocket while the pharma billed her Medicare 500 for the same box.

    damn pins are expensive where you live. I pay $12-$20 for 100 of slin pins and .25 each for a 3cc pin at the pharmacy
