Set-up 90-day prescription delivery by mail for maintenance and medications
Ways you can save on your prescriptions:
Ask your doctor or pharmacist about generics versus brand name drugs
Generics are the number one way your doctor or pharmacist can help save you money. By choosing generic medicines you can take more control of your health care costs and start saving. Generic medicine is high quality medicine that costs up to 80 to 85 percent less than its brand-name counterpart. The FDA requires that generic medicines have the same active ingredients, strength and dosage as their brand-name counterparts, which means they have the same quality and performance. And today nearly eight in 10 prescriptions filled in the U.S. are for generic medicine.
Use the TrueScripts Mail Service or Retail-90 pharmacy for your long-term medications
Medications that you fill on an ongoing basis could cost you less by filling them through the TrueScripts Mail Service or at a participating Retail-90 pharmacy. Plus, some medications that refilled in a 90day supply have even lower copays or coinsurance compared to a 30-day supply. This includes certain medications for high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, asthma/COPD, depression, diabetes, statins for high cholesterol, and in 2021 some osteoporosis medications.
