Depends on the medication.

Some will run $50 for a month's worth, others can top $1000.

momWolf takes some medications that are not on her insurance plan's formulary. I think we pay $40 or so out of pocket for that one. And there is at least one medication where her doctor has told her on no uncertain terms ... no generic, brand only. Because that one IS on formulary, we pay half of what it costs rather than the full cost, so it runs about $20.
