Together Rx Access
Together Rx Access, a prescription savings program sponsored by many of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies, provides eligible individuals and families with immediate and meaningful savings on prescription products right at their neighborhood pharmacy. It is the only multi-manufacturer program offering eligible uninsured individuals and their families access to immediate savings on prescription products.
Individuals may be eligible for the Together Rx Access® Card if they do not qualify for Medicare; do not have public or private prescription drug coverage; have a household income of up to $45,000 for a single person or $90,000 for a family of four (income eligibility is adjusted for family size); and, are legal residents of the United States or Puerto Rico.
Most cardholders save 25 to 40 percent on brand-name prescription products. More than 300 brand-name prescription products are included in the Program. Savings are also available on a wide range of generics. Medicines in the Program include those used to treat high cholesterol, diabetes, depression, asthma and many other common conditions. The card is free to get and free to use.
The card is accepted at the majority of pharmacies nationwide and in Puerto Rico. Cardholders simply bring the card to their neighborhood pharmacist along with their prescription, and the savings are calculated right at the pharmacy counter. There are no enrollment costs, monthly dues or hidden fees.
Results
