No, it's $4 retail at Walmart. $10 for a 3-month supply.
People with insurance might also pay the $4 if they haven't reached their insurance deductible (same concept as car/home insurance deductible).
Insured people still pay some co-insurance, up until their out-of-pocket maximum.

- ev1 5y agoImagine you opted for the cheap $500/month plan. You might have to pay 50% or 100% of all costs until you reach your maximum, which might be 5 digits and resets at least annually. Don't forget the "out of network" vs "in network" separation/cost/caps, where your physical hospital may be in network but a provider that works there is billed out of network.
