FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J.,
June 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Inside Rx today announced an agreement with the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the U.S. (VFW) to offer easy access to its 1.3
million members and their families who can benefit from the free
Inside Rx savings card that provides deep discounts to the
uninsured and underinsured who pay cash for their prescription
medications. The Inside Rx card can be used in any of the more than
40,000 participating pharmacies in the U.S. and offers more than
125 brand-name medications at a savings average of 40 percent, and
a robust list of generics with an average of nearly 80 percent off
retail*.
"We are honored to work with the VFW to provide an important
stop-gap measure that may lower the cost of the prescription
medications for our veterans," said Leslie
Achter, CEO of Inside Rx, a partially owned subsidiary of
Express Scripts (NASDAQ: ESRX). "In working with manufacturers and
retail pharmacies, we are able to provide deep discounts to
eligible patients who are currently paying full-list price on the
prescription medications they need for themselves, their families
and even their pets."
Inside Rx provides access to discounts on select medications
prescribed for chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease,
high-blood pressure and depression for eligible patients. The card
also offers discounts when buying medications commonly prescribed
for pets such as insulin and antibiotics, as well as seizure,
glaucoma, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
"For chronic health conditions, prescription drug therapy can be
a critical part of treatment that many veterans and their family
members forgo because of cost," said VFW National Commander
Keith Harman. "The VFW is pleased to
promote this free prescription savings program, which may be
particularly helpful for the substantial number of veterans and
their families who do not have access to health insurance coverage
due to ineligibility or cost."
The Inside Rx card is available online at InsideRx.com/VFW,
where veterans can download the card and check the list of
participating pharmacies, medication listing, and usage
terms.
Benefiting from the Inside Rx discounts is easy for eligible
patients who only need to present the discount card at
participating pharmacies, including national chains such as CVS,
the Kroger Family of Pharmacies and Walgreens. There is no
membership fee or other costs to obtain the card, which could save
eligible patients hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year.
Visit InsideRx.com/vfw for more information on pricing, and a list
of featured brand medications.
*Average savings rates stated are based on savings for over
50% of eligible Inside Rx users, based on cash price versus Inside
Rx price for featured brand medications. Eligibility
restrictions apply; visit insiderx.com for details. Inside Rx card
is not insurance.
