“How much will my medication cost?” When it comes to choosing a pharmacy, price is a huge concern for most people.

Insurance copays Your insurance provider determines how much you pay for each medication. Say, for example, you visit the doctor and he/she determines you need a new prescription. If your doctor prescribes you a medication covered by your insurance, you will only be responsible for the copay on that medication. Your insurance determines copay amounts based on your plan; to find out more about your copay amounts, call the 1-800 number on the back of your insurance card. What happens if you do not have insurance or your insurance does not cover the medication?

Your insurance may not cover all medications prescribed by your doctor. Medications like Viagra, Symbicort and over-the-counter (OTC) meds are a few examples of items that may not be covered; these medications can have dramatically different Leading Active Adult Community in USA price ranges.

For some medication that may not initially be cov- What can you do on RetireArizona.org? ered, a prior authorization (PA) may be required.

(Continued from page 11) The Board also addressed an inequity in benefits to single person households. Previously, a household with 2 people on the deed received 2 GVR cards while a household with one person on the deed received 1 card. Both types of households were paying the same dues. The Board has rectified this inequity by allowing all households to have 2 cards.

The biggest project that GVR has ever undertaken is the new 24 court pickleball complex. The previous Board purchased the property and the current Board followed through to build the facility at a cost of $1.2M. The GVR Pickleball Club deserves significant credit for raising over $350,000 to build 16 of the courts. Free, drop-in water aerobics classes are taught by A high priority to the Board is the maintenance of volunteer instructors at nine of GVR’s 13 pools, plus our facilities. GVR’s staff has done an excellent job of a class at night at Canoa Ranch. Some classes have maintaining our facilities, but this is not free. GVR has over 40 participants on a daily basis!
