    You can reduce medication costs by using a three-tiered copay system for prescription drugs. The top tier usually consists of brand name drugs which cost the most. The middle tier consists of drugs your health insurer considers cost effective. The cheapest tier includes generic drugs. Ask your doctor to only prescribe drugs in the bottom two tiers to lower your costs.
