Urologists that will send a prescription to a LOCAL pharmacy?

We're having a weird issue with my husbands urologist.

Originally they sent his prescription to a compounding pharmacy and they insisted that it would be significantly cheaper than going through our insurance. We dumbly believed them. Long story short, we found out our insurance covers the prescription for about $7 for a two month supply if we go through a local pharmacy. The compounding pharmacy is over $100 for the same amount.

The urologist refuses to let us get the RX at a local pharmacy and use our insurance. It feels like they must be getting kick backs from the compounding pharmacy. Honestly it's beyond frustrating. The appointments are expensive already, and we pay for insurance but they want to force us not to use the benefits of it.

Anyone know of a urologist that won't do this compounding pharmacy stuff?

TO BE CLEAR: The medication is NOT compounded. It is literally stocked at every local pharmacy and our insurance covers it.
