Most expensive drugs in the US for employers

It seems unbelievable, but the monthly cost of supplying some of these drugs costs more than the average car.In a previous blog post, we investigated why drug costs are rising, and what employers and patients can do about it.

Here are the most expensive drugs, listed in order of cost for a one-month prescription:

The most expensive drugs tend to be specialty drugs, which charge a steep fee for treating rare conditions. The exception would be Harvoni and Sovaldi, which treat hepatitis C, a disease that affects an estimated three million Americans. Even if you don’t have a rare disease, however, it’s likely that you’re overpaying for your prescription. Prices of the same drug vary significantly between different pharmacies, so your local grocery store may not always be the best option.

What’s more, even those with the best insurance packages may be able to get a better deal on prescriptions than their insurance copay amount. All this pricing madness is happening under your nose, and it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin searching for the best-priced drug.
