The Prescription Savings Card is a non-insurance discount card that provides saving solutions for individuals and families. Our aim is to minimize your “out of pocket” expenses for your prescriptions.
The Prescription Savings Card allows card members to purchase prescriptions at over 55,000 participating nationwide pharmacies and receive the lowest available cost. At the point of purchase, members will receive the lower of the participating pharmacy regular retail price (as submitted to PSC or other nationally contracted discount price). Members always are assured of the lowest price! If the participating pharmacy price is higher than the PSC contracted price, then card members will receive a discount on that prescription. If the pharmacy price is lower than the PSC contracted price, then the member will not receive a discount; however, the card member does receive the lower price. This eliminates timely shopping at pharmacies to see who has the lowest price. Card members can go to one pharmacy and is assured that the price charged is fair and competitive.
Simply provide this card each time you go to a pharmacy to purchase prescriptions and make sure the pharmacy submits the pharmacy claim on-line to PSC. This always assures the card member receives the lowest price! Remember, you must use one of the 55,000 participating nationwide pharmacies. Nearly 8 out of 10 pharmacies accept this card.
The card is designated “FAMILY” and can be used by the card member, spouse and/or children. We’ve provided an extra card for you to give to a friend, neighbor or relative.
Please note that not every prescription claim will receive a discount. This card is a “cash discount card” where the member pays 100% at the point of purchase. Card members pay’s the lower of 1) PSC contract price, 2) the pharmacy regular retail price. This card is not insurance where the card member pays a flat dollar co-pay, for example $10.00. Members on average save about 15-35% off the regular price. This depends on what medications the card member is purchasing or depends on the markup of the pharmacy’s regular price. Some prescriptions have been known to have savings of up to 65% savings on generic medications with overall savings of 40% across brand name and generic medications combined.
