> Most of the "step therapy" programs exist to gate the non-generic medications, so you wouldn't be finding them at Mark Cuban's pharmacy anyway.

I had to go through PA for 2 generic drugs that cost ~10-15 each a month from Costco (according to GoodRX). Cost Plus is actually a bit more expensive with shipping. If its $5 shipping total and not per drug its a small saving but wouldn't count towards my deductible. Was a huge hassle. I'm pretty sure if you were to take the time*wage my pharmacist, my doctor and myself spent on getting it done it would have paid for the prescriptions for at least a decade.

Oh and I'm on a high deductible plan so it will probably never cost them anything because I probably won't hit my coinsurance/out of pocket max.
