How to Use the Pharmacy Discount Program

800-800-7616
- Please do not call the pharmacy for price quotes. Prices may change from day to day and they cannot be given over the telephone. To look up drug prices by location visit www.rxpricequotes.com.
- At www.rxpricequtoes.com, you will find frequently asked questions, savings examples, a list of participating chains and a Drug Pricing Lookup tool. The Drug Pricing Lookup tool allows you to find the cost of your medications before you visit the pharmacy and look up participating locations near you.
- Present your membership card along with your prescriptions to the pharmacist. The pharmacy computer system will compare our contracted discount price with the pharmacy's retail price when the prescription is processed. You pay the lower of the two prices directly to the pharmacy at the point of sale.
- If your pharmacy happens to be selling any maintenance medications prescribed to treat on-going ailments, such as high blood pressure and arthritis, for less than the contracted price, you will receive the pharmacy's best price.
- If you experience any difficulties in using the pharmacy program, please call or ask the pharmacist to call the program's Member Services department at the number located on the back of your membership card.
NOTE: Pharmacy discounts are not insurance and are not intended as a substitute for insurance.
