How To Get Prescription Coupons
Prescription drugs can be nearly impossible to afford if you do not have health insurance that coverstheir price. A month of a single prescription can cost hundreds of dollars. Depending on what healthcondition is being treated, monthly medications can cost thousands for one person. Most people cannotsurvive without their medications. Luckily, there are some ways to make these prescriptions moreaffordable.Many large chain pharmacies have implemented programs that help customers save money on theirprescriptions. Generally, these programs offer generic drugs at very low prices, usually around $10 orless in the place of the name brand drugs that cost hundreds of dollars. Some pharmacies require you tosign up for their program which has a yearly fee but others do not. Each pharmacy’s program isdifferent and each offer a different list of available generic drugs. You will need to contact your localpharmacy for details. I suggest shopping around at all your local pharmacies just as you would shoparound for a car. See which pharmacy offers the cheapest price for your prescriptions and also offers theprescriptions you need.Many of the pharmacies located in big chain stores occasionally include a pharmacy coupon in theirweekly ads. These coupons vary from store to store, but they generally offer a free gift card from $10-$25 for transferring a prescription to their pharmacy. Each store has certain restrictions. Usually theywill not allow you to pay for your prescription with your free gift card, but it is a good way to get someextra money to spend.If there is no generic drug available for your prescription, the drug maker may offer a prescriptionassistance program. You will need to search the internet for these. Eligibility is usually based on yourlack of ability to pay or lack of insurance. There are also many charities and non-profit groups whooffer assistance in paying for prescription drugs. These can also be found by searching the internet.If your family is low-income, your state may be able to help. Contact your state’s department of healthservices to see if you are eligible for Medicaid. Many times, Medicaid will pay for all or most of yourprescription drugs. Some states also offer other programs for families who are low income but are noteligible for Medicaid. Do not be afraid to take advantage of these programs.If you are still unable to obtain your prescription drugs, talk to your doctor about your situation. He/shemay be able to give you free samples to last until you can find a way to pay for your prescriptions orthere may be a different drug available that is more affordable.
