I asked with Revco, $748 for 120 a month...

I was able to see if a coupon could reduce it and got it down to $68 at that time I checked ( I work in CVS Pharmacy, it's over $1200 there).

My liver doctor did tell me that they could help me if it was too expensive....right now with my insurance my cost is $5 per month...

Sometimes when a person has no insurance in USA, the pharmaceutical company that makes it will give it to you at no or low cost at least the programs in Michigan work with them to help out. Not sure what programs are there where you are at? You can call the hospital nurse who works with the pharmacy or the local town agency who works with the members of your community we have some where I live that help ...

I am in the US, WA state, and pay an arm and a leg for Urso, even though I have a good insurance (formerly Microsoft employee, I am on COBRA now, since I left the company in 9/2016, but, it is the same MS medical insurance). I take 1000 mg/day. I pay $500/90 days supply. Insurance doesn't pay for it (however it does go towards annual deductible), because they don't have it on the list of preventive medicines. I submitted a letter from doctor, but, that didn't help. Once my annual deductible are satisfied, then I won't be paying anything, or maybe 10%.

With my insurance - it was 5.00 until today -it went up to 30.00. I'm not sure why but not complaining after seeing what others pay!

I have no insurance and I get my Urso from,pharmstore.com in Canada. I get 900mg for 3 months at $200 with free shipping. I have been ordering from them for 3 years and have never had a problem.

I have done a lot of research and I know that if the pills were fake my liver enzymes would be going through the roof. I also order my other expensive medicine from them and everything seems to be working properly. Phramstore.com is certified by the Canadian government.
