A notice being handed out to customers in some Central Florida stores this week said, “While we are no longer offering medications for free, many will still be available at Publix Pharmacy at little to no out-of-pocket cost with most insurance plans.”
Maria Brous, director of communications for Publix, did not respond to an email Monday morning asking about the program.
According to some Publix employees, “citing internal company emails, medications that were free through Publix Pharmacy – such as amoxicillin, Lisinopril, metformin, amlodipine, and others – could now possibly cost $7.50 for a 90-day or 14-day supply where appropriate.”
