NeedyMeds Drug Discount Card FAQ
The drug discount card is a card designed to lower the cost of prescription medications by up to 80%.
No, there are no income, insurance, age or residency requirements.
No personal information or registration is required and the drug discount card is free of charge.
The discount card can be used immediately. Simply present the card to the pharmacist, along with your prescription, at any of the participating pharmacies.
If your pharmacist is not familiar with the drug discount card, they can call Argus Health Systems at 866-921-7284. The phone number is found on back of the card.
The drug discount card is not an insurance plan, but provides patients with discounted rates on prescriptions. When this card is presented with a valid prescription to a pharmacist, a 0-80% discount may be provided.
Unfortunately, the drug discount card cannot be used in combination with any insurance, so it cannot be used to lower a copayment. However, you may ask the pharmacist to process the discount card through the pharmacy system, as well as your insurance card, then choose whichever offers the best savings. The discount card often provides better discounts than many insurance plans.
Patients who have Medicare, including Part D, Medicaid or any state or federal prescription insurance can only use the drug discount card if they choose not to use their government-sponsored drug plan for their purchase. The card is not valid if used in combination with those programs. However, the card may be used in place of your insurance and especially if you fall under one of the following categories:
–Your insurance has no drug coverage
–There is a high deductible
–There is a high copay and the drug discount card offers a better price
–There is a low medicine cap that has been met
–You are in the Medicare Part D donut hole
–Your insurance has no drug coverage
–There is a high deductible
–There is a high copay and the drug discount card offers a better price
–There is a low medicine cap that has been met

Try using the card to receive a discount for any medications you need assistance with. We do not keep a list of prescriptions and their prices using the discount card. The reason for this is that prices tend to differ from month to month and also from pharmacy to pharmacy. The best way to get an accurate amount of the discount is to take your prescription and the discount card to your local participating pharmacy, and have the pharmacist process the card though the pharmacy's system.
