It demands minimal membership cost, yet it incorporates prescription price containment, state-of-the-art technology and patient-protection mechanisms. DISCOUNTED PRESCRIPTION PRICES AT LOCAL RETAILERS Up-front savings have totaled millions of dollars - averaging $7 to $9 per prescription. DISCOUNTED PRESCRIPTION PRICES FROM CANADA Members obtaining prescriptions by accessing the Expedite-Rx interface program more safely realize savings of 30% to 50% or more over the already-discounted network price. LESS COSTLY MEDICATIONS This benefit shows comparative prices so that you and your doctor can decide what products will be most economical for you. FEWER DRUG COMPLICATIONS The savings from unnecessary medical costs and deaths that are prevented by comprehensive central profiling with interactions and contraindications checking are incalculable. AND WHEN YOUR DOCTOR AGREES...LARGER RX QUANTITIES This plan does not limit quantities. Generally, you will get a better price for larger amounts. If yours is a maintenance drug (one that you will be taking for a long time) you might ask your doctor to prescribe the most economical amount that is safe for you. Many factors determine the quantity of drug to prescribe - you should discuss these with your doctor. |
