Consider Tradeoffs With Med Discount Cards and Coupons

Patients often turn to discount cards, coupons, and assistance programs to trim Rx costs...but you can help put these in perspective.

These MAY reduce a patient’s pharmacy bill up front...similar to “sample closets.” But they ultimately benefit manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers, etc.

Before reaching for these options, continue to prescribe the most cost-effective meds right off the bat.
