Why don't all pharmacies accept the US Rx Savings card?
Currently there are over 63,000 pharmacies that honor the US Rx Savings Card which if virtually every pharmacy in America. In partnership with our current PBM we have negotiated and contracted with all the major chain pharmacies and most of the independent pharmacies throughout the United States which have agreed to offer very deep prescription drug discount prices to our card holders off of the pharmacies usual and customary retail pricing. Unfortunately, there are a handful of pharmacies that have chosen to not participate. However, the 63,000 plus pharmacies which have chosen to offer these benefits to our cardholders did so because they understand the value of retaining a customer or obtaining a new customer. Plus, those pharmacies also understand that once someone visits their pharmacy to purchase their medications they will most likely buy other products such as magazines, candy, pop, "As Seen On TV" items, greeting cards, batteries, etc. That's why the pharmacy pick up window is generally located at the back of the store.
What if my pharmacist says the US Rx Savings Card would not save me any money?
A pharmacist will not be able to tell you if the US Rx Savings Card can or cannot save you money on your prescriptions until after it's been scanned/typed into the pharmacy computer. There is no way to determine the cost of the medication(s) without this happening. Remember, unless you have a great health insurance plan, unlike most people, then most likely the US Rx Savings Card will save you money on your prescription medications. However, as noted in the next question, sometimes there are exceptions but most of the time you will save money. If your pharmacist won't scan your card then you may consider selecting another pharmacy that participates in our 63,000 plus network because you will most generally save money.
Will I be able to receive a discount on all prescriptions drugs?

One exception being $4.00 - $4.99 generic medications that are already deeply discounted and therefore no additional discounts are available. Again, you are guaranteed to get the lowest price available at the pharmacy of your choice.
Can I get a discount on prescription drugs that my health insurance does not cover?
Most likely. If your current health insurance plan doesn't provide a discount for a particular drug, then odds are your US Rx Savings Card will provide a discount for that drug.
What if I change pharmacies?
If you change pharmacies, simply give the pharmacist your US Rx Savings Card, along with your prescription(s), and they will enter the Rx Card data into their systems to determine how much of a discount your will receive.
