		<description>I see cash patients pay full price at the pharmacy all the time.  The patients that have a good relationship with their pharmacists usually gets the best discount because we know their financial situations usually.  The pharmacist has the authority to price match another pharmacy or have resources to discount cards that can generate a lower discount.  If any patient asks I always do my best to help decrease the cost or contact the physician to change the medication to a less expensive alternative.</description>
