How much can I save?
The Pharmacy Discount Card can save members up to 60% on generic medications and up to 20% on brand medications.
What if I have prescription drug coverage through a health plan, but some of the medications I take regularly are excluded from insurance coverage? Does the Pharmacy Discount Card offer any benefit to me?
Yes! Drugs like Viagra, Meridia, and Zyban are typically considered “lifestyle medications” and are excluded from coverage under health plans. When a medication is excluded, you are typically charged a full retail price for those medications. This rate is usually much higher than the discounted price available to large purchasers. With the Discount Card, you can obtain these medications at a discounted price. This can substantially decrease your out of pocket expense.
Can I use this discount card in addition to my insurance prescription card to reduce my costs even further?
No. This pharmacy discount card cannot be used to reduce costs on prescriptions that are already covered under a health plan. However, if you are taking prescriptions that are excluded from coverage under your health plan, this card may be used to save money on those excluded items.
How does the Pharmacy Discount Card work?
After enrolling in the program, a personalized Pharmacy Discount identification card will be mailed to your home. Simply present the ID card to the retail pharmacy when you purchase medications. The pharmacist will handle the rest. The ODS discount is applied to the medication, and you will pay the discounted price for the medication at the point of sale.
Are there any claim forms?
No. The Pharmacy Discount Card is strictly a point of sale discount. There will be no claims for you to submit to ODS.
What pharmacies are included in the network?
