Will I always receive the lowest price?
Yes. You will receive the best price available to you through this program at the pharmacy. On occasion, pharmacies will price a particular medication lower than the discount rate provided by the card. If that occurs, you will receive the lower price.
Can I find out the discounted price of my prescriptions before going to the pharmacy?
Prices are based on pre-negotiated discounts but they vary by location, only the actual pharmacy can tell you the exact price of the prescription.
Why did the price of my prescription change since the last time I purchased the prescription?
Drug prices are different from pharmacy to pharmacy. Even chains have different prices in their stores depending on the population they are servicing. Additionally, manufacturers’ drug prices change periodically.
The brochure says I can save an average of 20 percent on my prescription medication. Will I save 20 percent on all my medications?
Even with our pre-negotiated discounts your actual savings may vary. Typically, member savings will be at or more than 20%. Manufacturers prices change periodically and each pharmacy has different pricing policies. Rest assured, you will get the lowest available price for your prescriptions.
No, when presenting your card, you will receive either the pharmacy’s regular price for the prescription medicine or the discounted price, whichever is lower. If Wal-Mart’s $4 price for select generics is lower than the Pharmacy Trust Professionals price, you will pay $4. You will receive the best price available for your prescription medicine on that day from that pharmacy.
