Rx Card

What people are saying about Medication Card:

I have carried Medication Card around for a couple of months because it sounded too good to be true.

I used it today and saved $37 on my prescriptions.

I thought that Medication Card was just some hoax.

I went to my pharmacist sure that they would turn me down when I handed over this card. Instead, I would up saving over $50 each on two different prescriptions. Now I want additional cards for my family and friends.

My husband has been out of work for over a year and has no insurance and Medication Card has
saved us considerable money. My prescription which cost $36 was filled for me for $18.

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.

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.

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!

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.
