Pharmacy pricing
The Grand Ronde Pharmacy has made several adjustments to drug pricing
to better align with regulatory rules of the drug subsidies used in the Pharma-
cy. The change will only affect patients who are seen in the clinic and are on 
the Tribal spouse or employee plan. Other Natives and those without insur-
ance seen in clinic also will see a change. The expected change on a 90-day
supply of a generic medication is about $4. In cases where a generic is not
available, Pharmacy staff is trained to help identify less expensive alternatives 
or use manufacturer’s coupons to help patients keep their drug costs down
as much as possible. Please plan ahead and if you are likely to be affected. 
Contact Pharmacy staff to explore ways to keep your costs down.
