Glad it helped. Out of curiosity, checked EpiPen with the same web site. The worst is K-Mart - their "discounted" price is in the 650's, and the "estimated cash price" is $840. That's for two injectors with a couple of dimes worth of medication apiece. Those guys have totally lost their marbles. Oh yeah - recently I had to have an X-ray of my shoulder. They took 2 views. The Technician and the assistant spent with me maybe some 12-15 minutes. The Radiologist read it and sent in a report. Guess how much Medicare "approved" for all this - $10.01. That's all they got paid, 10 bucks and a penny, between Medicare and the co-insurance. And it's a nice, neat, modern looking place. How they're expected to survive with such rates I have no idea.
