We’re here to help you save on prescriptions and access medications you need. Yet sometimes, even with insurance, prescription drugs can be pricey. Here are seven opportunities for you to explore that may lead to paying less for your medications.

Talk with your doctor

Ask about less expensive alternatives, including generic drugs. Generics contain the same active ingredients as brands and are a safe, lower-cost option.

Check your formulary (preferred drug list)

You may find lower-cost therapy options in your formulary. You can find it on our members page.

Compare drug prices

The drug price tool in the Serve You Rx Member Portal allows you to compare prices between generic and brand, retail and mail. We encourage high-deductible health plan members who do not have a flat copay to shop around for the lowest price. Some pharmacies substantially discount prescriptions to drive traffic.

90-day Supply

Ask your doctor to prescribe a 90-day supply. Like other products, buying in bulk saves time and money.*

Home delivery

Mail service through our Home Delivery Pharmacy is a cost-effective option for medications you take regularly. You receive up to a  90-day supply for less than what you would pay in retail copays.

Research patient assistance programs or manufacturer discount coupons

A manufacturer discount coupon may be helpful if you and your doctor ruled out generic drugs. For example, manufacturers of specialty medications sometimes offer copay assistance to help reduce or cover the cost of their medications.

Take care of yourself to save

A healthy diet and exercise can help prevent conditions that require prescription drugs, reduce medical costs, and increase quality of life. Using all or a combination of these can help you save on prescriptions.

*Your plan may require mail service for 90-day supply prescriptions.
