Insurance Co-pay was Higher than the Prescription Card

True Testimonial 

"The prescription card works great! We saved money on 3 out of 4 prescriptions for our family, even with insurance. We had a $20 co-pay for prescriptions, but three of the four medicines needed were less than the co-pay by using the card."

Next click on the tab named "Drug Pricing & Pharmacy Look Up" located in the blue tab under the CAP logo.  (see picture to the left)

Once you click on this tab you will be taken to a screen that you choose between RX Drug Pricing or Pharmacy Locator.

For RX Drug Pricing:

Click on RX Drug Pricing and you will be taken to the HealthTrans site.

Enter Drug name (must be spelled correctly) and zip code you are inquiring about or select from the Commonly Used Drugs below.  Select the distance from the drop down. Click on GO! Located in lower right hand of box.

(You do not have to put in your address or the whole zip code.  The first 3 digits of your zip is fine.  The more info the better results you will have as far as location.) 

 On this screen you will fill in the pills per day and days. Then you press Price Drug to get your results.




On the next screen you will find the prices that will include the discounted price that you will receive using the discount card.  You can compare prices at the pharmacies by selecting the pharmacies located on the left hand side.  Each one you click will give you the price for that one.  When you select a pharmacy depending on your connection speed it can take a moment to get the results.  Whatever pharmacy is highlighted in dark green is the price shown.  Give it time!  Sometimes you can save money by simply going to a neighboring pharmacy.  (There have been times when pharmacy's within the same area have been 100's less.)

You have decided on the best price for the medication so all you need is to print out or take your FREE discount card to that pharmacy and get the medication.  You can print out a FREE card by clicking here --> Need Card!

Help With Prescriptions for Pets!

Do you need help affording prescriptions for your pets?

We love our pets and finding out they are sick and need medication can cause a huge financial burden on some households.  As a member of the family it can be devastating to realize the medication is costly and without it your pet will suffer if not cause a more serious situation.

Did you know that often the medications that are given to your pet are just smaller or lower doses of medications made for human consumption?  It is to your benefit to ask your vet if the meds are a lower dose and have them write you an actual prescription.  Often as pet owners we feel that we have to get the medication at the vet paying the price they determine.  With the prescription you can shop around for a much lower price at a regular pharmacy.

We now have released a discount prescription card for your pet and this card can be used at any participating pharmacy.  All you have to do is go to our site, print out the pet discount card and start saving today.  On our site you can look up a pharmacy in your area that will use the card and also research the price savings.  The card is absolutely FREE, will not expire and can be used over and over.

The only thing I ask is if the card helps you that you would come back and share your story with us.  You can get your discount prescription pet card by clicking on this link -----> FREE PET CARD

If you own a business and would like me to provide you with hard copies of the Pet Discount Card for your customers I will be glad to.  Please contact me for details. You can also forward the link to your customers if you like.  Your customers and your pets will be glad you did!

Using Your Card To Help Others

 True Testimonials

"My newly employed son called me to ask about using the Free USA Drug Plan Card. He was in the pharmacy, and his one-time prescription was priced at $56.00, retail, no insurance. I text messaged to him the information from my card, and he gave this information to the pharmacist. His final price for the prescription was $16.00 ! That is a FORTY dollar savings on ONE prescription! My own personal prescription saving is on only one drug - generic Zocor / Simvastatin, only one I have. The retail price at my pharmacy with NO insurance is $25.62. With my Free USA Drug Plan card, I pay only $9.62 - that is a savings of over $115.00 a year on one drug!"

Ways To Use The Card Even If You Have Insurance!

Can I use this card with my insurance?

I often have someone commenting or asking me this very question. The card was designed and promoted more to help people who have to pay full price for their prescriptions.  However, in some cases the card can come in handy for someone who has the benefit of having insurance coverage.  With the card being FREE why not have one handy just in case.

Below are a few examples of how the card can help someone even if they have insurance.

  • No Prescription Drug Coverage Benefit: Many insurance companies offer plans on health care and limited to no assistance on prescription drug coverage.  You can go to the doctor and use your insurance card and use your RX discount drug card to save you from paying full price at the pharmacy.  
  • Formularies: Insurance companies are increasingly limiting which drugs they will pay for such as: Birth Control, Diabetic Supplies, Smoking cessation and drugs that they decide are not cost effective for them.
  • Medicare Part D: Our RX drug card can be used to secure discounts on those drugs that are excluded from Part D Medicare.  It will also provide discounts when a person on Medicare reaches the "coverage gap".
  • High Deductible Plans: Our card program allows you to get discounts on RX drugs before you reach the level at which the insurance company starts paying benefits.
  • High Co-payment:  When you have a $25 co-pay and the drug is only $12 you often have to still pay the $25.  In this case, you use the C.A.P. drug card and pay $12.
The general rule is that you cannot use both the RX drug card and your insurance prescription card but in these cases the card will come in quite handy.  As I stated before with the card being free why not just print one out and start saving on your medications today?  I also always suggest sending this link to anyone else you may know that is having trouble affording the high cost of medications.

Help For Parents In The Donut Hole

"I remembered you had told me about the prescription discount card, which is FREE!!! I was skeptical at first. But when my mother fell into the medicare donut hole I decided to check it out. One of Mom's prescriptions cost her over $400 out of pocket for a 30 day supply! I was frustrated because she had to go without some of her meds, so I checked your card's website and discovered that by using this card at a national chain pharmacy my mother only had to pay $52.73 for the SAME prescription medication!!!! I truly appreciate the benefits of this card! Thank you for sharing it with me, I am so grateful that my mother can now afford her medications. May God bless you and yours!"  -   Loraine Oregon     In God We Trust

Top 10 States of the Uninsured

The Top 10 States Of The Uninsured

A study was done in 2009 by the North Carolina Institute of Medicine.  The study was done to calculate the dramatic increase in the uninsured rate.  The increase across the board was between 5% to 22% from 2007 to 2009.  Most states being in the double digits.

From the numbers provided I was able to determine the top 10 states where you will find the highest percentage of uninsured residents.  All percentages are percentages of non elderly (under 65)
 The results are:
                                   % Uninsured         Total
                                                            Uninsured
  1. Texas                       28%          6,240,000
  2. New Mexico            26%             470,000
  3. Florida                     25%          3,920,000
  4. California                 23%          7,700,000
  5. Nevada                    23%             570,000
  6. Arizona                    22%          1,300,000
  7. Louisiana                 22%              840,000
  8. Oklahoma                22%             720,000
  9. Georgia                    21%          1,880,000
  10. North Carolina         21%          1,750,000
 The total shown on the study for all of the US is 19% that would include 52,000,000.  (Massachusetts numbers were not used in this study)

With this many uninsured all over there has to be someone close if it is not yourself that could use the benefit of a prescription discount card.  When faced with a prescription the only choice many have is to pay full price or just go without their medication.  The Community Outreach Program was put into place to help those that are in need and really anyone that has to pay fell price.  The best part is there are no income or age limits to use this card.  The card can be used over and over and one card can serve the whole family.  If you or anyone you know is uninsured print out a card and use it.  Drop it off at your neighbors house who just lost their job.  We may not be able to make a difference in the amount of people who are uninsured but we can give our self a break or make a difference in someones life.
