Six Ways Rx Savings Solutions Can Help You Save*
Posted on December 11, 2020
Holiday shopping can put a dent in your wallet. Filling a prescription doesn’t have to.
While this holiday season may look a bit different for most of us, you can probably count on some of the usual themes: joy, family, generosity. But for many, managing the holiday budget can also bring on a good amount of stress and anxiety this time of year. No matter the season, Health New England is always looking for new ways to help ease those concerns by making sure our members have affordable access to the care they need.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Rx Savings Solutions to offer a free, confidential online service that helps you find the lowest-cost options for your prescription drugs. Here are six ways that Rx Savings Solutions can save you money on the medications you’re already taking:
- Different Drug, Same Treatment: There is usually more than one medication available to treat a medical condition. Rx Savings Solutions will show you all of them, along with their costs.
- Same Drug, Different Pharmacy: Sometimes it’s as simple as using a different pharmacy that may sell your current medication for much less.
- Same Active Ingredient, Lower Price: If a generic is available, they’ll find it. If there is more than one option, you’ll know exactly what each one costs.
- Same Drug, Split the Pill: Many medications are priced the same regardless of strength. Split a larger tablet in half to get two doses at half the price.
- Same Drug, Different Form: Believe it or not, a capsule might cost more than a tablet or liquid form—or vice versa.
- Same Ingredients, Different Pills: If a drug has two active ingredients, the price can skyrocket. Take the active ingredients separately at the same time for the same treatment at a lower cost.
As a Health New England member, you have free access to see all of your options using the Rx Savings Solutions online portal and pharmacy support team. As soon as you’ve registered your account with Rx Savings Solutions, they’ll automatically notify you whenever you have an opportunity to save!
