Can I use this card if I have insurance?
Yes, but only in the following circumstances and you should ask your pharmacist whether using the card would save you money:
- The drug is not covered under your insurance plan
- You have a cap on coverage that has been exceeded such that all future prescription costs in the plan year must be paid at 100%
- You have a high annual deductible that you don’t believe you will reach given a low monthly prescription drug expense (e.g. $500 deductible with a monthly drug cost of $15)
- You have a high co-pay which exceeds the cost of the prescription if you used the Sac Best Rx card (e.g. $10 co-pay for all prescriptions but a drug that is $7 when the card is used vs. insurance)
Can I use the card if I am on Medicare, especially when I enter the “doughnut hole” in my coverage?
You should not use the card for Medicare covered prescriptions as the coverage obtained through Medicare should be more advantageous. However, if the drug is not covered as part of your plan and you typically would pay full retail cost for the prescription, the card can be used.
