How the Card Works
It’s really quite simple. There is no registration or enrollment cost. You can cut out the card below or obtain a plastic one.
Everytime you get a prescription filled give the card to the pharmacist. He or she will check on the discount and let you know how much you save.
You can share the card with your family members and friends. A copy of the card (both sides) works as well as the original.
