Groups and Members Can Save with AmeriHealth’s 50% Rx Card
Save your customers money by offering the AmeriHealth 50% Rx Card – a cost-effective alternative for groups seeking premium relief that in many instances will save members money when prescribed certain drugs.
How it works
Instead of paying fixed copays, the 50 percent coinsurance benefit gives members the opportunity to purchase prescription drugs at a fraction of wholesale prices.
Groups save
On average, groups will save 9.3 percent by pairing a SEH medical plan with the 50% Rx Card vs. a $20/40/60 tiered benefit.1
Members can save too!
In many instances, the member’s out-of-pocket costs for certain drugs can be significantly reduced through the addition of a 50% Rx Card vs. a $20/40/60 three-tiered benefit. The chart below shows savings examples in all three tiers - generic, brand and non-formulary.
