### How much does prescription drug cost?

Most prescription drug falls between $880 and $4,312, with a typical figure near $1,948 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. For Alaska, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote.
