Help with Costs

Generic vs. Brand

Generic drugs are approved by the FDA to be just as safe and effective as brand-name drugs. They both have the same active ingredients, but generic drugs usually cost a lot less. This means you can save money on your prescriptions and still get the same benefits as you would from brand-name medication. Talk to your doctor about whether generic medications are right for you.

90-Day Mail Order (Caremark)

You may save time and money with Caremark’s mail-order service by getting a 90-day supply of certain medications conveniently mailed to your home for the same cost as a 30-day supply. That’s three (3) months of medication for the cost of one (1) month of medication. And you’d have to refill only four (4) times a year instead of 12.
