Prescription Drug Cost Comparison
The following spreadsheet lists both the wholesale and retail prices for some of the more common prescription drugs prescribed to our members. NJCF cost is the price that the fund pays for this drug regardless of what pharmacy the members go to.  This price is our guaranteed discount price prior to member co-pays.  At a retail pharmacy, member co-pays are $10.00 or 20% of NJCF cost, whichever is greater.
The prices listed for the various pharmacies are the prices which those individual pharmacies list online. Please note that prices online and at individual retail pharmacies vary. If you do not have prescription coverage it is important to shop around to various pharmacies in order to find the best price for your prescriptions.  As this spreadsheet shows, retail pricing varies depending on the pharmacy where you purchase your medication. Pharmacy prices will be updated the first Wednesday of every month.
