The AARP Pharmacy Services program has worked on behalf of
AARP members to help you save on prescription drugs since 1959.
This service offers a variety of card options, including the
Medicare-approved AARP Prescription Discount Card, sponsored by
United HealthCare Insurance Company.
Here are the top five most important questions for Medicare
beneficiaries to consider when choosing a prescription drug
discount card:
Does the program offer discounts on the drugs the
beneficiary currently takes (while
reducing overall costs)?
Is their favorite pharmacy in the programâ's
network?
Is the card sponsor one they know and trust?
Are they maximizing their savings with the $600 Medicare
credit (if they qualify)
or access to drug manufacturer rebates?
Do they receive drug interaction safety checks on all
prescriptions filled at a
network pharmacy?
