3-Tier Discount Rx Plan
A discount Rx plan allowing members to save money on all types of prescription medications. At the time of purchase, the member simply presents his or her card at a participating pharmacy to instantly receive substantial discounts on prescription drugs. Any individual with limited or no prescription drug coverage can benefit from a prescription drug savings card. Even people who already have other insurance coverage may still benefit from the card, as it can discount medications that may not be covered by their current health plan. This includes Part D Medicare recipients. The prescription drug savings card can be especially useful to seniors enrolled in Medicare. It has been estimated that as many as 38% of Medicare recipients lack prescription drug coverage. How It Works Most prescription medications will fall into one of 3 tiers: $10 tier, $20 tier, or $40 tier. These are NOT co-pay amounts, but are discount categories*. For example, the $10 tier means that for drugs in this tier, the member will pay an amount up to $10. For drugs in the $20 tier, members will pay an amount between $10.01 - $20.00. For drugs in the $40 tier, members will pay an amount between $20.01 - $40.00. Prescription drugs that do not fall into one of the three tiers will usually be discounted at a percentage, often an average of 15% on brand name drugs and 40% on generic drugs.**
