Prescription Discount Card Program
How it Works
The FamilyWize Prescription Drug Discount Card enables you to receive discounted pricing on prescription drugs. This is not insurance. Rather, it is a program that offers immediate discounts on prescription drugs at participating pharmacies. Simply present your card with each prescription from your doctor to the participating pharmacy; at the time of purchase to receive your discounts. If you need to transfer a prescription, bring your empty prescription bottle or label with you to the pharmacy.
Bucks County participants have saved an average of 33% off the pharmacy's usual and customary retail price of prescription drugs, with the highest savings on generic drugs. Total savings in 2008 totaled nearly $236,000 for an average savings of $23.
Your cost for medication will be the discount price offered through this program, or the pharmacy's usual and customary retail price, whichever is lower. This means you are assured the lowest price in that store, at the time you purchase the medication. If the pharmacy's price is lower, there is no savings or discount.
To get cards, click on the link below to download a printable card, or call United Way of Bucks County at 215.949.1660 ext 112.
