There are a few companies out there right now offering free prescription drug card plan. So which one is the best? All that I have seen online so far seem to offer the exact same thing right? The first site I went to said up to 75% off prescription drugs then another site is saying up to %80 off prescription medication. These cards even seem to be accepted at all the same pharmacies. So what is the difference?
Well it really depends.
Many of the companies that offer these free prescription drug cards have deals in place with pharmacies and prescription drug distributors and manufacturers that allow them to offer their users a certain discount on certain drugs. However, each company does not have the same deal as the other…therefore your discounts on prescription medications can differ from card to card.
There are a few options you can do to find out which card works best for you. The first option would be try them all out. Just because you fill a prescription today with one card does not mean you have to use the same card the next time. It would not take very much time at all to print our 2-3 prescription card and try 1 each time you fill a certain type of prescription, finding which card works best and will be used from there on out.
For example: Prescription card A may work best with 1 kind of medication but prescription card B works best with another.
Make sure to keep track of what discounts each card is bringing in so you know how you can save the most money.
Some prescription card sites even have a price checker built in on their webpage so you can know before you go an approximate amount of the cost of a certain type of prescription drug medication.
Note: Prescription discount card do not discount what you would normally pay with your regular insurance. Think of your insurance card as a discount card as well. You may have a certain type of prescription insurance that may make using a free discount prescription card better.
If you have zero insurance, then having one of these cards is a must.
However in conclusion, the best thing to do is try a few free prescription drug cards out and see which one works best for you and the type of medication you need to fill.
This program is not for everyone which is why I suggest that you consider all your options. There area many pharmacies out there which offer a plethora of saving programs and prescription discounts cards. There are also some programs that offer FREE prescription cards that may be able to get you the same discounts as these programs but without the fees. So take it upon your self to check out each program and see which one works best for you.
