    John,
    Read one of your posts about getting ensure through your oncologist for real cheap. I asked my oncologist if he offered any deals as well and he does not. Seems that the cheapest I can get is through Sam's Club. I think it's still $24 or more for a case of 24. Do you know any other ways to get ensure cheaper? I wonder if another oncologist would offer it to me even if I'm not his/her patient?

    Michelleb,
    It is offered thru the Hospital pharmacy with a prescription. L believe they have a contract with The Ensure distributor.As long as the Hospital offers it at the discount price any Dr. should be able to give you a prescription. Just goes to show the mark up drug stores do and rip us off doesn't it? I pay $8 a case(24) John

    Price of Ensure
    Dear John,

    Thank you so much for posting info in getting a case of Ensure. Right now I
    have no need for this supplement. I only take vitamins. I have no idea
    what the future holds, at least I know How I can obtain Ensure at a more
    reasonable price if ever needed.

    Hugs to you and family. Love Maggie
