| Q: | I'm on a limited income. How can I save money on my medications? |
| A: |
Ask your doctor if the medication prescribed for you has a generic equivalent. Generics cost less than brand name drugs, and the less a drug costs, the lower your copayment will be. You can also save by using SCAN's mail order pharmacy, Express Scripts. A 90-day supply by mail costs you less than obtaining a 31-day supply at your local pharmacy. Click on the go button to get more information about ordering prescriptions online through Express Scripts.
Also, members who have limited income and resources that need help with paying for their prescription drugs may be able to receive extra help through the Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidy program. Please call Member Services for more information at 1-800-559-3500, 7:00 am - 8:00 pm, 7 days a week, (TTY users call 1-800-735-2929)
