Just a little story to share.
My neighbors left for their Disney World Vacation a few days ago. I received an email asking to check if they left a full bottle of their daughter's medication on the counter. Yep...they did!
Last night they asked if I would Express mail it to them today. This morning I paid $17.50 to get it to them by noon tomorrow. They will pay me back.
This is probably cheaper than the alternative of going to the pharmacy. I had a friend visit from out of town last year. They forgot their son's meds. We went to Walgreen's and she paid $5 per pill. Luckily she only need two.
The family I just sent meds to would need at least 13 pills. I can't remember is she takes those once or twice a day. Based on $5/pill they would have spent $65 or more to get the medication she needed. Remember insurance won't pay if you just recently filled a prescription. Of course, the money may be worth it if it the only option.
If you go on vacation....remember your medication!!
Forgetting = Expensive

They were also helpful when he had packed his medication in his luggage and then the airline lost his luggage. I guess it may depend on your insurance co. and pharmacy, but ours have both been helpful to replace necessary medicine whether it was his fault (for being forgetful) or not.
