Anthem Medicare Prescription Drug Plan: The Discount Card Program

You know that if you only rely on the original Medicare program, your prescription drugs won’t be covered. Next to prescription drug plans which also offer coverage at a reasonable cost, there are drug discount programs. The Anthem Discount Card Program is one of them.

So what are the benefits of Anthem’s Medicare-approved drug discount card program versus Anthem’s current medical drug coverage?

Here is how it works: Members with Anthem’s medical and drug coverage already receive discounts on prescriptions through their medical plan, even after drug benefits are exhausted.

Although Anthem’s Medicare-approved drug discount card discount cannot be combined with a member’s current drug coverage discount at the retail pharmacy, it may be beneficial for drugs not covered or medication with limited coverage under the member’s drug plan. Make sure to compare the discounts that are available through this program, before you decide if a Medicare-approved card is good for you.

Members who enroll in Anthem’s Medicare-approved drug discount card program should consult with their pharmacist on whether the Medicare-approved card, or the medical drug benefit plan has a lower out-of-pocket cost for the medication you need.
