What if my pharmacist said the card would not save me any money?
Answer
As a USA Drug Plan Discount Card member, you are entitled to your benefit. Your pharmacist will not know what the card savings will be until the prescription is sent for pricing via the pharmacist's computer. If your Pharmacist does not want to comply with the program, you should consider going to a pharmacy that honors the card.
Why don't all pharmacies accept the card?
Answer
All chain pharmacies and most independent pharmacies have been given equal opportunity to serve you via this program. Pharmacies are required to offer very deep discounts and assist in performing some fairly complicated drug management procedures on behalf of our card holders, and some pharmacies simply refuse. However that gives you the confidence of knowing that pharmacies participating have your best interests in mind.
What does getting the "lowest" or "best" price on my prescriptions mean?
Answer
It means that a participating pharmacy will give you their lowest (or best) price available at their pharmacy. In 80% of previous transactions, that price will be significantly lower than any retail or sale price you would receive without the card. If a brand name or generic drug is available through your participating pharmacy at a lower price than the scheduled price, you will pay only the lower of the two prices.
Does my doctor need to know about this card when writing my prescription?
Answer
No. This program will not affect the way you are cared for by your physician. You should, however, always consult with your doctor about saving money on prescription medications.
Can I use my card for mail-order prescriptions?
Answer
Yes, and you can expect even greater savings!
Can I get prices over the Internet?
Answer
Yes. In fact, we recommend it. Use the Drug Pricing tool to get prices.
