Tips to Save on Medication

  • Shop around for the lowest prescription drug prices. Call different pharmacies and ask for prescription drug prices. If you find a lower price than your pharmacy offers, ask if they'll match it.
  • If you qualify, enroll in a Medicare Part D plan.
  • Consider using mail-order pharmacy services. You can usually order up to a 3-month supply of your prescription medicine for less than what individual prescription refills would cost at a local retail pharmacy. If you use an Internet pharmacy service, be sure it carries the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites program (VIPPS) seal.
  • Learn what help your state and local governments may offer. Many states have programs that will help pay for medical prescriptions. Search your state's Web site, or call your state senator or your representative at the state capital.
  • Look into drug-company prescription savings programs. Most pharmaceutical companies have drug savings programs for people with low to modest incomes and no insurance coverage. These programs offer savings on medicines either purchased at the pharmacy or mailed directly to you.
  • Visit the Web site for The Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA). The Partnership for Prescription Assistance provides a single point of information on the more than 475 public and private patient assistance programs, which include more than 150 programs offered by the pharmaceutical industry. They can help you find information to save on more than 2,500 medicines. The PPA educational effort is supported by America's pharmaceutical research companies working with doctors, pharmacists, healthcare providers, patient advocacy organizations, and community groups across the US. The toll-free number to Partner for Prescription Assistance is 1-888-4PPANOW, or visit their website at www.pparx.org.
