You already know that Health Access Solutions saves you money on your everyday health care costs by empowering your family to make informed, personalized choices about your health care needs and to pay only for what you need.
This does not stop at the preventive care and other routine medical costs. Health Access Solutions can help your family to remain in the driver’s seat regarding your prescription drugs, how much they cost, and where they come from.
When you need a prescription drug on a regular basis, the best way to save is to compare as many options as possible. One resource members have found helpful is Pharmacy Checker, an independent company that compares the prices of prescription drugs from licensed and verified online pharmacies across the globe and shares that information so consumers can find the lowest prices on the medications they need. (Note: We are not affiliated with Pharmacy Checker, but many of our members have found the lowest prices through their services).
Pharmacy Checker makes it possible to look beyond the local pharmacies in your community, and even in the United States, to find a price that suits your budget and allows for some friendly competition.
These are the simple steps to fill any regular, recurring prescription:
- Get a prescription from a physician.
- Search for the prescription on Pharmacy Checker.
- Consider if you need the brand-name drug or could save even more with a generic option.
- Choose the best option for your needs and budget.
- Have it mailed to your front door.
