Steps
- Write down the medication price at your expected maintenance dose.
- Add any monthly or annual membership fee, divided to a monthly figure.
- Add shipping if it is not included.
- Account for required billing-term commitments (e.g., 12-month prepay vs month-to-month).
- Sum these to get your true monthly cost, then multiply by 12 for annual cost.
