Save Money on Meds






I found a great link and wanted to share it right away.

This is only available in USA- 

Good RX  -Basically the card is contracted to pharmacies because the cards 'have a deal ' with the insurance companies. We have to accept them and every time we bill a prescription to a card we are charged I believe a minimum of $5. Shop around for the best cards certain cards will pay extremely well for specific drugs. And if you ever get brand name drugs see if the company has a website they usually offer assistance when paying for them.

Many prescriptions were not being picked up on a retail basis, something like 60% of scripts were abandoned for those without RX insurance. The card by partnering with Pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies  offer discounts. Retail pharmacy and Big Pharmaceutical need those scripts filled to make money. They just take less money through discounts in order to get the business of the under insured. A certain percentage off the prescription price that depends on the script. 



 senior federal health official told Congress on Tuesday that the Obama administration would adjust its plan to reduce Medicare payments for many prescription drugs, this link may help with the cost of medication.

  3. Thanks Linda, so many people have no idea that their meds can be lower in cost because the drug companies want to boost sales and make more money. it's a scam how much they make and it's not right when they send out sales reps and they will give you free "samples". I used to save the samples for patient's who couldn't afford the medication. some of those dang pills are more than $10 a PIECE! ridiculous. anyone on a fixed income or budget knows that this is horrible. someone needs to regulate these jerks.

    1. Totally agree Cyndy. It's not gonna happen. Think drug companies care about the average american? The only thing that matters is money.
