COST OF POST OP MEDS?

hello everyone, just trying to get things ready before my big day so i was just wondering what is the cost for the prescription meds we are given when we leave the hospital?

i do have coverage but would just like an idea so theres no big surprises

 

thanks

if you have coverage no worries! I was prescribed percocets and colace which I did not fill and Prevacid which put me back a couple bucks because of my drug plan (maybe $8?)

thanks for the quick reply now they did say something to me about needles for the first 12 days, did you have those, i think they are the same that i had after my c section

Blood thinners. My surgeon only has us take blood thinners while in the hospital so unsure of the cost if you are prescribed them. Sorry

I  was given the blood thinners 3x a day in the hospital then 1x a day for 8 days once I was released.  They were $189 before my coverage.  I don't think I ended up paying anything.  Don't forget to pick up some alcohol swabs if you don't already have them!  My prevacid was only covered by my husbands insurance so I think we ended up paying about $50 for a 3 month supply.  The things that added up were all of the non-prescription stuff......  MOM, Metamucil, Beneprotein, alcohol swabs, vitamins (purchased before surgery), liquid tylenol, etc........

I was on blood thinners for 8 days and the total cost was $170. I also was on Prevacid and I just got a 3 month supply right now and it was $217 I have to be on that for 6 months so It will be another $217 eventually. For my pain killers it was under 50 I believe I couldn't find that prescription receipt sorry. I hope that helped best of luck!!

thanks very much

everyone is different and it depends how you manage pain....I had a pain pump that was finished 3 days after surgery and I luckily didn't need anything after that...if you move, move, move and sip, sip, sip, that should help with the pain and the constipaiton..again everyone is different
