PHARMACY FAQs
Q. What can I expect to save with this membership?
A. Prices will always vary on prescription drugs and therefore it is impossible
to estimate specific dollar savings through any non-insured drug program. Your
membership offers two avenues for drug purchases: The Neighborhood Pharmacy
program offers 10% to 85% discounts on acute care medications and the Mail Order
Pharmacy guarantees an average of 10% off AARP's prices. Should you receive a
quote anywhere else for less than our mail order pharmacy, we will beat it by a
minimum of $5.00 on brand name and generic medications priced at $10.00 or more
with no postage or dispensing fees added. Savings can not be used in conjunction
with other discount or insurance cards.
Q. Do I get a discount on every single drug at the neighborhood pharmacy when I
use my Membership card?
A. Not necessarily. Drug stores, like hardware and grocery stores determine
their own pricing structures. Due to large discounts from manufacturers, some
drugs may already be priced at or below the PBM's discount price. However, as a
general rule, you can expect that 80% to 90% of your required, acute care
prescription needs will be discounted below the stores usual retail price. The
PBM network pharmacies have agreed to sell prescription drugs at the contract
price, or their "usual retail price" whichever is lower.
Q. Why didn't I save any money at the participating local drugstore?
A. More than likely, you ordered a long-term maintenance medication versus a
short-term acute care medication such as an antibiotic or pain-killer. Most
pharmacies use long-term, maintenance medications as "loss leaders" and price
these drugs at or below cost. They do this so that their customers will assume
that all their prices are low. It's a marketing strategy. The pharmacy realizes
that for long-term medications, you'll shop around in order to get the best
price for a medication that you may be taking for the rest of your life. As the
consumer, you are led to believe that this pharmacy has low prices on all their
prescription drugs and other items. Our pharmacy program has contracted with
independent and chain pharmacies nationwide to offer you a discounted price that
will normally save you 10% to 85% on short term medications. However, in order
to draw customers, many pharmacies opt to price their prescriptions lower than
the contracted price. In this case the member gets the lower of the two.
Normally, they use high profile maintenance drugs for these "loss leader" price
reductions such as Prozac, Zantac, and Premarin. In order to guarantee members a
savings, we established a mail order pharmacy program which absolutely,
positively guarantees to beat any price quoted elsewhere by a minimum of $5.00
with no dispensing or postage fees added provided the brand or generic price
exceeds $10.00.
Q. What if the Pharmacist doesn't recognize the card's name?
A. Always make inquiries in person and be sure to bring your card with you. When
the pharmacist sees the Pharmacy Benefit Manager information on the card, the
pharmacist then understands which program you are on.
Q. Is this a co-pay insurance card?
A. No. A co-pay card is an insured product where the customer pays a preset
amount and the insurance company pays the remainder. This membership is a
discount card offering reduced prices. You are responsible to pay the pharmacy
100% of the discounted price.
Q. I'm a member and called the Mail Order Pharmacy to get a price quote on my
maintenance drugs. The price quote was higher than my old pharmacy. What should
I do?
A. When you call the Mail Order Pharmacy to get a price quote, be sure to tell
the representative where you found it for less. If the quotation you are given
does not beat the price you are currently paying by at least $5.00, the operator
will verify the price being charged at your local pharmacy and beat it by $5.00.
This outstanding price guarantee is effective for all brand or generic drugs
priced over $10.00.
*The $5.00 guaranteed savings cannot be used in conjunction with other discount
or insurance cards.
