I will continue to add and update this particular entry as I learn about new things that can benefit others in hope that it will help someone in some way.
Sharing is Caring!!!!
One of the biggest worries we have as caregivers is who will take care of our loved ones, as good as we do while we're at work.
Some of you may have taken a personal leave or just quit your jobs all together to stay home and do just that.
Did you know if you are your loved ones primary caregiver and they're on disability, the state you live in could possibly pay you to stay home and take care of them as their personal assistant. Contact your local Department of Aging for more information about obtaining a PA Package.
So went to the pharmacy today to pick up 5 prescriptions with a retail value of almost $600. Even with having Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage, my out of pocket was still a little over $200.
Coincidentally a few days ago I had received a prescription discount card in the mail and it had just been sitting in my purse collecting dust.
I decided to ask the pharmacist if she took this kind of card, and she said "yes".
So I'm super excited to show you what I ended up spending...
You can't use both, only one or the other but you can definitely use the one that gives you the better price.

This is a wonderful post. Being a caregiver is not easy, but can be very rewarding because you were able to help others and give them the comfort they needed. And in my opinion, it will be more fulfilling if you do it for the people you love, like your parents.
