      <\/span>How can I receive a discount on my prescription drugs?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      One way to receive a prescription discount card is to sign up for a health benefit plan<\/a>, such as one offered by AmeriPlan. All three of the plans offered come with a discount on prescription drugs \u2013 including diabetic supplies.<\/p>\n

      Here’s how you enroll to receive your discounts.<\/p>\n

      <\/span>Step 1: Choose a plan that works for your household.<\/span><\/h3>\n

      AmeriPlan’s discount health plan is not a health insurance plan. Instead, AmeriPlan has formed a relationship with thousands of health service professionals across the country who have agreed to work at a discounted rate in return for not having to work with insurance companies.<\/p>\n

      AmeriPlan has tens of thousands of medical practitioners in the network<\/a>, more than 100,000 dentists, and 12,000 vision care providers. Each plan member also receives discounts at approximately 50,000 pharmacies across the country.<\/p>\n

      Once you have signed up to save money on your healthcare costs by enrolling with AmeriPlan, you can immediately begin to receive discounts at specific pharmacies<\/a> in your area. Simply present the temporary prescription discount card you received through your email at the time of purchase (or the permanent card that arrives in the mail within 10 to 14 days.)<\/p>\n

      <\/span>Step 2: Talk with the pharmacy staff about your purchase.<\/span><\/h3>\n

      When you purchase a membership with AmeriPlan, you can use your prescription drug discount card at participating pharmacies. However, this plan is only for those paying cash for their medications. It can’t be used with your insurance plan<\/a>, copay savings plan, or other discount prescription card.<\/p>\n

      In some cases, those using the pharmacy discount card<\/a> with their AmeriPlan subscription will help them save more on their medications than those using insurance. Talk with your pharmacist to learn the best method to pay for your name-brand or generic drugs.<\/p>\n

      <\/span>Step 3: Pay for your prescription medications in cash (or debit\/credit card.)<\/span><\/h3>\n

      If you determined that the best way to save money on your medication<\/a> is by using the prescription discount card with your AmeriPlan membership, you would simply pay cash for your prescription. You or the pharmacist won’t have to fill out any forms, and the pharmacy won’t have to wait to get paid by the insurance company. Instead, the transaction will be complete.<\/p>\n

      One note that might be helpful to those with medical insurance is that using a prescription discount card with your AmeriPlan membership may save money. However, those out-of-pocket costs<\/a> will not count toward your insurance deductible.<\/p>\n
