Special Rx Discounts
Paying for prescription medications can be difficult to manage. Prescription drug lists are occasionally prohibitive, making it difficult to obtain the medications you need to stay healthy. Understanding the challenges our members face maintaining their good health, Healthcare Group and the state legislature have researched other prescription drug coverage options and found some alternative programs for Arizona consumers. If your health plan’s drug list doesn’t cover your medication(s) or you have maxed out your benefit, look into one of these programs to assist in the cost of your medications. If your medical plan does cover your medication(s), these discount programs may not offer an additional discount.
Healthcare Group does not endorse and is not affiliated with any of the listed drug discount programs. As always, the Member should consult with his/her physician as to the appropriateness of the programs and the drugs available through the programs.
