Prescription drug savings

Find ways to save on your prescriptions

Generic Drugs

• Generic drugs usually cost less than brand-name drugs. They are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand-name drugs.
• $0 at your local pharmacy for tier 1; $0 for tier 1 and 2 in at Costco mail order for 90-100 days supply.

Fill prescriptions for 100-days instead of 90-days

• Save 1 extra fill a year by requesting your doctor write a 100-day supply for all the maintenance medications you take. 
• $0 for a 100-day fill at a mail-order pharmacy for Tier 1 and Tier 2 drugs at Costco retail and mail-order pharmacies – no Costco membership required.

Use our preferred retail pharmacy network or mail order pharmacy 

• Members save money by filling prescriptions in our preferred retail pharmacy network and through our mail order pharmacy.
• Preferred pharmacies include all SSM pharmacies, Walgreens, Walmart, Costco, and CSPEN pharmacies.
