Health Savings Prescription Card - No Cost
Because you are a union member, you are automatically eligible for a no cost Union Plus Prescription Card to help you save on prescriptions at participating pharmacies.
With the card, you can save an average of 15% off brand name drugs and 40% off generic drugs at more than 56,000 pharmacies nationwide.
Prescription drug discount cards allow prescription drug users to save money on all types of prescription medications. At the time of purchase, union members simply present their Union Plus Prescription Card at a participating pharmacy to instantly receive substantial discounts on their prescription drugs. It's that easy.
How do prescription drug savings cards work?
Prescription Drug Savings cards contain special computerized instructions that can be read by the pharmacy's computer, similar to an ATM card.
When the card information is entered, the price on the prescription is discounted based on the pharmacy's agreement with Agelity. This type of cutting-edge technology allows union families to save money without encountering any hassles on the checkout line.
Health savings from a provider you can trust
With more than 5 million customers and growing, the Union Plus program provider, Careington International, was among the first companies to offer discount dental plans and is a founding member of the Consumer Health Alliance (CHA), a trade group that recognizes and promotes fair and ethical business practices within the discount health care industry. CHA members work with regulators to adopt industry standards that establish appropriate levels of consumer protection and program integrity.
NOTE: The Union Plus Prescription Card and Union Plus Health Savings are not insurance programs, but are discount plans designed to help you save on out-of-pocket medical costs.
Prescription Card Features
- Save an average of 15% off brand name drugs and 40% off generic drugs at more than 56,000 pharmacies nationwide including Rite Aid, Safeway and many more.* (*Discounts available at participating pharmacies only.)
- Or get even greater savings when you choose to have convenient, money-saving mail-order prescriptions delivered right to your door.
- Union Plus Health Savings is a discount program, not insurance. Health Savings can sometimes help reduce out-of-pocket costs under some prescription programs, but it is not a replacement for a prescription drug insurance program.
