Choice Rx Prescription Drug Card
Skyrocketing insurance costs mean that businesses cannot always provide healthcare benefits for all of their employees, and employees cannot always afford to pay monthly contributions for their insurance. As a result, some go without healthcare coverage. Now, AHA is bringing our members an affordable way to help your employees access the prescription drugs they need for less.
What is the Choice Rx Prescription Drug Discount Card?The Choice Rx Prescription Drug Discount Card is a card that offers a discount averaging 10–35% on all drugs at participating pharmacies to all of your employees, whether they have no insurance coverage, are underinsured, or have health insurance.
What's the cost to me and my employees?As an exclusive, members-only benefit, the cost to employers is only 19 cents per card and is complimentary to all employees!
How does the card work?Employees simply present the card when purchasing prescription drugs to receive an on-the-spot discount. Every time your employees use their free Choice Rx Prescription Drug Discount Card, they save money.
