The free prescription discount card from FamilyWize can help you save on your prescription medications.
The goal of the FamilyWize® Community Service Partnership, Inc is to reduce the cost of prescription medicine for children, families, and individuals by $1 billion by the end of 2015. We believe that stronger, healthier, and happier people make healthier and better communities.
We deliver these savings by distributing free prescription drug discount cards. These pharmacy discount cards are provided free of charge both to the organizations and agencies helping to distribute the drug cards and to the people who receive the cards. All funding for the FamilyWize prescription card program is provided by part of the dispensing fee that is included in the cost of medicines when a FamilyWize card is used to save you money, and by in-kind donations, and reduced costs from the program sponsors.
The FamilyWize Community Service Partnership was established in 2005 by Dan and Susan Barnes to reduce the cost of prescriptions for people who live and work in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Distribution of these cards was later coordinated by the local United Way. United Ways in other communities quickly heard about the program and started asking if they could get cards for their communities. Sadly, many families in the United States need a FamilyWize card, either because they have no health insurance or they have to buy medicine that is not covered by their insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare plans.
You can get a card from United Way of Blair County or online at Familywize.
