I just printed it. I will try it. But is there a catch?
If it works, I wish I had it 6 months ago!

My primary doc will not prescribe abx as he says it is not a matter of if but when the insurance company starts to question him.
he will not even prescribe them if I pay out of pocket.
But, said to go to Mexico.
So, wondering if I could use this card with an on line pharmacy. has anyone tried that?

i really thought it was too good to be true too guys! someone just gave me a card... it was laminated, but i'm pretty sure it was just printed too. i have used it so far with no problems! i went to hy-vee's pharmacy, and they accepted it no problem!
it saved me $300 on azythromycin (zithromax) and it saves me $20 on nystatin
i hope it works just fine for everyone else too... if one pharmacy won't accept it, try going to another one.
i wish i would have known about the card sooner too... before i had to sell a gift from my diseased grandpa to cover my meds!
and kam, i'm not sure... but its worth a try!

There's another one that I hear works. I just received mine in the mail, haven't had a chance to use it yet. http://www.pscard.com/

Please post and let us all know which card is better.
I've used the ps card and it was a significant savings when I did not have insurance.

I looked up some of the drugs that I have to pay out of pocket for and it looks like this card will save me a significant amount of money. $50 less on one RX and almost $100 less on another. I'm going to take it to my pharmacy next time I get refills. Thanks again Kelle

PSCard is better for me- cheaper. I am on Malarone and azithromycin.
But for some reason, the pharmacy I use is even cheaper then the listed prices online for PSCard.

kitty, i looked up the psc card... it says it saves up to 50%... which doesnt make sense to me, because azithrymycin is $400... that would only make it $200? is the website wrong?
what exactly do you pay? i'm interested...
sammy... glad it will help you... its saving me hundreds!
