The neighborhood pharmacy program assures members the lowest price on prescription drugs, saving 10% to 85% on most prescriptions. Get a price quote!

It's simple to use. The member simply presents the membership card to the pharmacist with the prescription. The pharmacist calculates the discount and the member pays the discounted price. No other paperwork required.

Highlights

• 10% to 85% savings on most medications.
• Over 60,000 national and regional pharmacy chains participate as well as independent pharmacies.
• No pharmacy program is complete unless it includes both retail locations where members may fill acute care medications and a mail order program so members may optimize their savings by purchasing maintenance prescriptions in 90 day supplies to treat ongoing ailments.
• Do not call the pharmacy for price quotes. Prices may change from day to day and they cannot be given over the telephone.

Mail Order Pharmacy

To ensure members always save money on their prescription drugs, a unique mail order program was created to complement the network pharmacy benefit. Since most maintenance medications are purchased in 90 day supplies, members maximize savings and have the convenience of home delivery (at no additional charge) through HealthTrans. Accuracy is assured by requiring every order to pass seven quality checkpoints before shipping.

Highlights

• Members are guaranteed savings when purchasing long-term, maintenance medications prescribed to treat on-going ailments such as arthritis, heart disease and high cholesterol. The mail order prescription price is guaranteed to be $5.00 less than the lowest competitive price quote from a local pharmacy provided the brand or generic drug costs over $10.00 or 10% below AARP pricing.
• There are never dispensing or postage fees added except for “rush” deliveries.
• Prescriptions are delivered right to your door.
• Unlike competitive programs that restrict available medications to their "approved" list, the Mail Order Prescription Plan is an "open formulary", so doctors may prescribe the most effective medication to treat the member's ailment or condition.

*The $5.00 guaranteed savings cannot be used in conjunction with other discount or insurance cards.

**Pharmacy Discounts are Not Insurance and are Not Intended as a Substitute for Insurance.

The discount is only available at participating pharmacies.
