80 million people in the United States are uninsured and underinsured. In the last two years, 40% of the U.S. population either didn't buy medicine they needed or reduced the required dosage because of the high cost!
Health care coverage is one of the top concerns for people in our community. United Way of El Dorado is committed to helping increase access to affordable health care and getting everyone the medicine they need. Many people who live and work in our community struggle to pay their bills and have to chose between getting the medicine they need and paying for food, rent or utilities.
We are pleased to partner with SingleCare (Formerly Familywize) to offer this important free prescription discount card program to help everyone in our community.
Since FamilyWize began in 2005, this free prescription assistance program has helped over 4.5 million people save money on their prescription medications. As you can see from the counter, our United Way and other United Ways across the country are working with SingleCare (Formerly Familywize) every day to help more people.
The SingleCare (Formerly Familywize) prescription drug discount cards cab be used by everyone in the community for prescription medicine. Not just people with no insurance. There are no usage, age, or income limits.
Simply give the card to the pharmacist with your prescription. An instant- varies by medication- is applied to the prescription medicine. The card provides pharmacy discounts (up to 75%) on all FDA approved prescription medicine not covered by insurance, Medicaid, Medicare or other benefit plans. You pay either the discounted price or the pharmacy's retail price, whichever is lower.
You can pick up a discount card online or at our office, 116 W. Pine here in El Dorado. Or they can be picked up at any of our local agencies.
You can change someone's life by printing SingleCare (Formerly Familywize) cards and giving them out to your friends, neighbors and co-workers, or just handling one to someone in line at the pharmacy or supermarket.
