Oh wow Vicki
I wonder if they prorated the bill (gulp) to even things out with the end of year accounting. Although we get charged from the date we signed on, so I could be way off base there. We elected not to use the eprescribe because of the lack of participating pharmacies here and it was going to just be a huge hassle and cost to us to get interfaces with them all. Seeing this I'm glad we still haven't done it!
Good luck and I hope your Holiday is happy in spite of the bill.
