Your pharmacy and pharmacist can – and should – play a larger role in healthcare than dispensing medications. The value pharmacies provide is much bigger, and having an onsite pharmacy offers MSU employees an advantage.

Participants in MSU’s medical base or buy-up plans save more by pairing higher plan payment along with Magers commitment to achieve low purchasing costs.

Elixir’s online site pricing tool, can help compare drug costs at Elixir participating pharmacies, and may recommend lower cost options. Elixir’s pricing tool does not contain Magers data.  Magers pharmacy staff are happy to help compare prescription costs.

For the example below Wal-Mart was selected in the Elixir pricing tool as the comparison pharmacy:

• Retail pharmacy: Jardiance (10 MG; QTY 30) = patient coinsurance cost $173.02
• Magers pharmacy: Jardiance (10 MG; QTY 30) = patient coinsurance cost $125.66
• Monthly savings: $47.36

Lower cost alternative (if physician/pharmacist deems appropriate):

• Retail pharmacy: Farxiga (5 MG; QTY 30) = patient coinsurance cost $164.86
• Magers pharmacy: Farxiga (5 MG; QTY 30) = patient coinsurance cost $119.74
• Monthly savings: $45.12

Potential total cost savings by utilizing Magers combined with utilizing lower cost alternative: $53.28 monthly, that’s over $639 yearly!
