Probably not. The sticker price of my blood pressure medicine comes out to like $60/yr. The scan alone would probably cost more than 40 years of medication (and the #s are potentially much worse if you consider time value of money and all that)
- golem14 4y agoCost to you, or combined cost for you / insurer ? Honest question.
- mikeyouse 4y agoMost blood pressure medication is dirt cheap, effective pills have been generic for decades now -- you can get a 3-month supply of the largest dose of lisinopril for under $10 cash (no insurance). https://costplusdrugs.com/medications/lisinopril-2_5mg-tablet/ https://costplusdrugs.com/medications/lisinopril-2_5mg-table...

When I was on those I paid cash and almost always received a coupon on the spot for some reason but my total price out of pocket was $28 for the agonist and about $12 for the ARB. Some people are on more then 2 types. Happy to be off those things.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoIf I went to Costco and paid cash without invoking my insurance it would be $16 for a 90 day supply (so actually closer to $65/year, oops). When I go through my insurance with their preferred pharmacy, I don't pay anything. But according to CVS my insurance company pays $1.87 for 90 pills, so about $7/year
