A prescription discount card is just what it sounds like, a free program that provides you with a card (or an app) to use at the pharmacy to lower the price of your Rx medications. Each program is a little different, but most work by negotiating with pharmacies for lower prices on brand and generic medications, and then passing those discounts along to patients. Download the free FamilyWize card, or get our mobile app, to start saving an average of 45 percent on prescriptions.Speak with your doctor about other medication optionsIf you have concerns about affording your treatment, it pays to speak up. Many physicians are very familiar with a wide variety of ways to help you cut costs, whether that may be switching to a generic drug, a different dosage plan, or other options. Asking never hurts!Compare prices at local pharmacies
