    What does this actually mean?

      Various pharmacies in Canada will accept a US prescription and send you the medication via mail, usually at far cheaper than what you would pay for the same in the US.

      This prevents it.

            Yep. My father gets a med from there.

            1 year supply from Northwest? $477 (includes shipping).

            1 year supply from CVS? $1395
