Non-FEHB Programs

Prescription Drug Discount Program

Save an average of 20% off certain prescriptions medicines. The Prescription Drug Discount program provides an opportunity to receive lower prices on a variety of prescription medicines not covered under your regular prescription medicine benefit.

About your savings

The Prescription Drug Discount program makes it simple to save. Simply fill your prescription in three easy steps:

  1. Select a Participating Retail Pharmacy.
  2. Present your Service Benefit Plan Identification Card and prescription to the pharmacist.
  3. Pay for your prescription - your pharmacist will tell you the cost of your medicine.

Discounts are available only at Participating Retail Pharmacies. Your cost for medication will be either the discount price offered through this program or the pharmacy's retail price, whichever price is lower.
