Needy Meds Drug Discount Card

NeedyMeds.org now offers the free NeedyMeds Drug Discount Card, that offers savings of up to 80% off the price of prescription medications not covered by insurance. Every time the card is used, NeedyMeds receives a small amount to continue their work. The card is accepted at over 65,000 pharmacies, including major chains such as CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.

There are no fees, and no registration is required. There are no income, insurance, age or residency requirements. The drug discount card cannot be used in combination with any insurance, so it cannot be used to lower a copayment. However, one may ask the pharmacist to process the discount card through the pharmacy system, as well as their insurance card, then choose whichever offers the best savings. The discount card often provides better discounts than many insurance plans.

The card is active immediately and can be shared. Note however, specific discounts will vary and are only available from a pharmacist when presented with a prescription.

Here's how it works:

• Download a card and print the page or fill out the online form and submit for small order of plastic card requests. .
• Give the card to the pharmacist along with your prescription.
• The pharmacist will tell you how much you saved using our drug discount card.

You can donate money to the program two ways - through PayPal on the needymeds.org website, or send your payment to:
