- M Stanley from Houston, TX

I was shocked to discover how much I saved on prescription drugs by using Medication Card.

I was paying $45 for a prescription which I will need for the rest of my life. When I found Medication Card 
I saved myself around $20 on my prescription. 
- Fielda from Las Vegas, NV

I was extremely glad to be able to get instant access to Medication Card.

My insurance required pre-approval on a drug which I couldn't wait for. I saved $19 right away using Medication Card. 
- Andrew from Seatle, Washingtion

I feel like this is some kind of magic card!

I brought in a new script today and found out my insurance would not cover it at all and that it was going to cost just over $40 for only 30 pills! I told them not to fill it because I cannot afford the medication and I was not even sure if it would work or how my body would handle it. They suggested I just buy a few and see how it goes. Then I found Medication Card. We ran the script through again using Medication Card and voila! The price came down to $26.36 for all 30 pills! I have one other prescription that my insurance doesn't cover any more so I'm going to try using this magic Medication Card on it too! Thanks so much!

TIPS FOR YOUR DOCTOR’S VISIT

Since breaking my back in 1998, I have been blessed with some exceptional physicians who believed in me and sincerely wanted to help me with my struggles with chronic pain.

Unfortunately, I have also encountered those who have not treated me so well. If you encounter a Doctor that does not treat you well or makes you feel uncomfortable; run, hobble, crawl, do whatever you have to do, to get as far away from the person as possible. There are plenty of great, caring physicians out there. Let’s put the other guys and gals out of business.

Let’s face it, even the best physicians are short on time and sometimes we get a little sensitive due to our pain, so it is important to plan ahead. I have a few tips I find helpful for me and my doctor. Hope you find them useful, as well.

1. Keep a diary of your symptoms, pain level, activity level, and other things your physician may have asked you to track.

2. Bring a list of questions and concerns to each Doctors visit. Be clear and concise. Remember, your Doctor has a limited amount of time to spend with each patient.

3. If you are having trouble communicating with your Doctor, coming along with a trusted friend or family member for the sake of companionship, to be your voice or evaluate the situation. Sometimes we get a little short tempered when we are in pain. If your friend agrees that the Doctor is not treating you well. Find a new Doctor.

4. Be honest as to whether or not you are following Doctors orders. Are you exercising, doing therapy regularly, taking your medications, etc…

5. If you don’t understand your Doctor, ask him to clarify, if you still don’t understand, ask again. This isn’t the time to worry about looking stupid!

6. Post all of your important medical numbers together, including; physicians, therapists, pharmacist, personal trainer, coach, and any other people helping you with your condition. This is also a great place to post your medications and latest symptoms.

7. Ask your Doctor the three most important things you can do to improve your condition.

8. Ask your Doctor for his honest assessment of what you can expect over the next week, month, year, and so on.

9. Last but not least, keep a positive attitude at the Doctors office. I use humor as much as possible in describing my situation. I believe that is why my Doctors and their staff like to see me. They must get a little sick of hearing people whine all day. They are only human. If you are blessed with a great, caring Doctor, give him or her something to smile about when you are there. Believe me, it will come back to you tenfold, on your roughest days, when you can barely muster a smile or hold back the tears. They will want to cheer you up!

Saving Money with a Prescription Drug Discount Card

When the phrase, ‘health is wealth’ was curbed, the individual must have realized it takes a handsome amount of money to maintain health. With all the advanced cases of diseases recorded by medical professionals, one would be compared to walking on a tightrope health wise. Even if you are very careful with what you do in life, the chances are that some disease may get the better of you.

Prescription Drug Discount Card

Once you are bedridden with an ailment, money comes in on your trail. The high cost of medicines nowadays has put a lot of people on the edge just to stay well. Fortunately, there is a solution made especially for these kinds of situations. A prescription discount card helps alleviate the cost of medicines by making them a little bit affordable on the budget.

Usually, it helps out people with medical insurance as an added feature, in order to lessen medical expenses. Everybody can obtain a discount card but it doesn’t mean you have to get one for yourself; there would be a set of rules on who would be eligible to get one.
Remember with a prescription discount card it will depend on the medicines you will be buying if it can save you a lot of money and some unscrupulous individuals are taking advantage by creating scams on the use of a prescription discount card. For eligibility, preference is given to the elderly and to families with a number of young children in their abode. The cards are usually provided for free by the government or in a situation where payment has to be made, the fee is usually a bit lower than the usual.

KNOW YOUR PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT CARD

A prescription discount program is designed to help people save money on prescription medications by offering its customers a card called the prescription discount card used when paying for prescriptions issued from medical institutions. Pharmacies are willing to accept these discount cards from customers for a variety of reasons.

The first of these is a matter of competition between pharmacies. Pharmaceutical is a $500 billion industry, so competition is fierce. If one pharmacy does not accept the discount card, the pharmacy down the street can, thereby gaining the business of the cardholder. Remember when you started that lemonade stand when you were a kid, and then that pesky neighborhood boy copied your idea, but sold his lemonade for 5 cents less? Unless you could prove that your lemonade was worth 5 cents more than his, you had to lower your price as well.

Since medication from one pharmacy is identical to medicine from another, pharmacies are obliged to honor the discount card. Second, even in the absence of competition, pharmacies understand that some medication is helpful, but not essential (think antacids), so if the price is too high, some may choose not to fill their prescriptions at all. In other words, there is a whole market segment to be gained by accepting the discount card–the segment that, based on price, would have to decline to purchase their medication unless the price was lowered. Third, pharmacies understand that by accepting the discount card, they get a new customer through the door that may end up buying much more than just their medication. Ever wondered why Walgreens places their pharmacy (the main reason you’re in the store) all the way in the back? As you walk back to the pharmacy, you pass thousands of products from groceries to batteries to stuffed animals to greeting cards to–the list goes on and on. So the more people they get through the door, the more money they make on items other than medication.

Why don't all pharmacies accept the Medication Card?
All chain pharmacies and most independent pharmacies have been given equal opportunity to serve you via this program. Pharmacies taking part in the program give you the discount and pay a small marketing fee to the pharmacy benefit management (PBM) company. Some smaller pharmacies choose not to take part in the program and do not honor Medication Card. You can use Medication Card with confidence at all major pharmacies and most regional pharmacies, who routinely accept Medication Card as a way to provide a service to their customers and to generate the additional business that Medication Card (rx discount savings card) brings to their pharmacies.

If I have insurance how can Medication Card benefit me?
If you are under insurance, having Medication Card may still be beneficial since there are insurance policies which limit drug discounts to only a specific set of prescriptions. Many other insurance policies have also been marked with high deductibles. In both cases, Medication Cards can be used independently of insurance coverage and its limitations.

Why do pharmacies offer these discounts?
Pharmacies count on Medication Card to bring people into their stores that may otherwise not get a prescription filled for financial reasons. Pharmacists know that once a customer is in the store they invariably end up picking up other items while waiting to get their prescription filled. Medication Card offers positive benefits for everyone - the cardholder, the store and even the extended business community that stands to benefit from some of the cash the customer saves.
