So you no longer have health care insurance or maybe your policy doesn't cover certain procedures. Inform your provider of your change in status and ask for a discount. Remember, your provider isn't a mind reader, and doesn't know what your insurance status is. Ask if recommended procedures are absolutely necessary. If they are, ask if there is a less expensive alternative that will produce similar results. For medication, ask your provider if they have samples. If you can get samples for one of every three months, that's a 33% savings right there. Always check to make sure that the medication has not expired however.
Also check with pharmacies like Walmart and Tom Thumb among others for their low-cost generic medicines. They carry a list of those prescriptions, which cost generally $4 for a month's supply and $10 for a 3-month supply. Sam's and Costco's are also known for being less expensive options for regular prescriptions. You can access Costco's pharmacy without being a member, simply inform them at the entrance that you are going to the pharmacy.
Don't keep these savings tips to yourself - tell a friend.
