For run of the mill meds, my doctors haven't mentioned considering price, but for an autoimmune issue that required very expensive medication, my doctor helped me participate in a manufacturers program that covered anything my insurance wouldn't over $50 a month.

As it turned out, my insurance wouldn't cover it at all, because they wanted me to try a cheaper, older medicine that had a much worse list of potential side effects.

If it hadn't been for my doctor, I wouldn't have known about the aid program or to enroll in it (technically, it was through a separate, non-profit legal entity, but it still has the manufacturs name in it).
