Below is a list of frequently asked questions and their answers:
How can my prescriptions possibly be so cheap with your program? back to top
(I was paying $34.25 and now I pay just $7.10 with your program)
This program gives you similar pricing to what the largest HMOs and Insurance companies get. The difference is that you get the benefit, not the HMO. Savings are what this program is all about.
Is there anything dishonest about this program (I feel guilty paying so little)? back to top
No! While the prices are very low (and they are), they are comparable to what the pharmacy gets paid by the largest HMOs and Insurance companies.
How do your discounts compare to other drug card programs? back to top
Our discounts are 15% to 25% better than the other programs we reviewed (over 20). We also hear this figure from our members as well! Prior to starting this internet product, we carefully researched a number of other programs, including several that are heavily promoted on television.
What if my pharmacy has a problem filling my prescription? back to top
We maintain a help desk that the pharmacy can call, the toll free number is on the membership card.
Is there anything special I should do the first time I use this program at a participating pharmacy? back to top
When you order your prescription, tell the pharmacy that you have a "Drug Card" program. They will ask you for a copy of the card, or the information on the card such as the BIN #, the group # and member ID #. With this information, the pharmacy will find you in their system, and the Drug Card discount will be applied to your order automatically.
Do pre-existing medical conditions affect my ability to participate? back to top
No. You don't have to worry about doctor's exams or pre-existing medical conditions to participate in this program.
Will you price and compare my current medications before I enroll in the program? back to top
We can. However, in virtually every situation, our experience has shown that our price is lower than what you are currently paying. Rather than ask us to price your individual medication, we ask that you enroll in the program and try it for 30 days. If you are not 100% satisfied, we will gladly refund your membership fee.

I'm currently covered by my employer's health plan. Is it possible that my employer may look at what prescription medications I'm taking? back to top
Yes, it is possible, and highly likely that your employer is aware of the prescription medications you are taking and the health condition associated with the medication. Even though there are confidentiality laws in place to protect you, these laws are rarely enforced, as it is difficult to prove that an employer is using this information inappropriately or that an employment decision has been made based on a health condition. The only real way to guard your privacy is to not use your company's Rx plan to purchase medications for questionable or embarrassing conditions. This is one of the major reasons this Drug Card was created, to protect your privacy.
