Yep. And I came up with this which gave me concern (scroll down to the Drug Discount Cards section. Also, I had other hits of people questioning these cards, so I decided to ask FReepers if any on our forum had any experience with them.
My major issue is, how does the drug company recoup the difference after the discount? Not that I'm in love with drug companies, per se, but the idea of free cards offering major discounts seems pretty scammy to me.
What's wrong with the drug companies?
At any rate, this is probably a private initiative that gives pharmacies the "opportunity" to discount their products. Nothing to be worried about -- nothing to depend on, either.
As rxtn41 said, go to a pharmacy that sells generics for $4 or $5. We have insurance that pays pretty good on scripts, but the generics are cheaper than the copays, so we only use insurance on two brand name scripts out of 14 meds that we buy each month. Brand name drugs that are expensive often have discount coupons to help with the cost. They are available from your doctor or online at the drug maker’s site.
