Saving Money in Assisted Living Facilities

Mom's new ALF (Assisted Living Facility) wants to charge $400 a month to use a different pharmacy than theirs. How is this legal?
I saw the above consumer question in the AgingCare.com Forum.

The question continues below.

We currently use a local pharmacy that will bubble pack all her meds and supplements together, even physical samples. We had to do that because of many problems with her current facility's pharmacy - a different one to the new facility - and also because of many of her meds going missing and others being ordered that were specifically requested not to be ordered that her insurance does not cover and we are left holding the bill for. The current, local pharmacy is great and we don't want to change but can't afford the $400 per month outside pharmacy fee.

How can this be legal? Any advice?

Let me answer this question.

In most states Assisted Living residents are considered medically stable. The facility is their home and you can supply your own less expensive medication packaged in your own Medication Blister Cards.
Many times your insurance company will only approve and pay for medications in pill bottles from pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS.
My customers who have a loved one in an Assisted Living Facility continue to tell me how our 31 day single dose blister cards are saving them hundreds of dollars a month by letting them fill and supply their own medications to the facility. (check out our testimonial page) These single dose cards that you can purchase from Medication Packaging Solutions are the exact same cards that these Assisted Living Facility pharmacies supply and that the assisted living facility will accept.
These single dose cards hold 31 doses of each medication (one month) and are quick and easy to fill at home.
