Prescriptions
At Big Tree, we try to help you save money on health care anytime we can. For example, we purchase medications from the same wholesalers that pharmacies use and then sell it to our patients at cost ($59/month plan, $44/month plan), or give it to them as a part of the plan (=FREE in most business plans). “At Cost” prices for $59/month patient range from $0.30-$5.00/month (or per course for antibiotics), call or email for an exact price. Patients not a part of a monthly plan pay $5+cost for medications. We reserve the right to change the below list as medication prices change and as medication supplies change, so consider it representative. You can call/email for exact prices. Patients with Free medications also get free shipping (or delivery) if they live outside of Boone County.

We can certainly send any orders for any of the above medicines and/or many other medicines to any pharmacies as desired, though the patient will be responsible for the cost. We do not prescribe chronic, long term opioids or narcotics, though we often refer patients to pain specialists. We also have been very successful in helping patients in chronic pain that want to get off of narcotics on to non-narcotic pain medications. Research shows that there are several options that work as good as opioids but are not habit forming. This include medications like amitriptyline, duloxetine and gabapentin.
