In addition to checking for affordable prices, you should consider discount cards and programs. Some discount cards are free while others have a modest annual fee. You may be able to save from 15 – 85% on certain medications. Some discount programs are specifically for uninsured or unemployed persons but most are available to anyone. If you do not have a discounted arrangement through a health plan or insurer, you should consider one of the following discount card programs.
