How the BetterRxCard and EquivaMeds Service Can Save You and Your Clients Money
Ellen is the director of an agency providing substance abuse, behavioral health, and physical rehabilitation services for its clients. On a regular basis she and her staff work with clients without prescription insurance who have a hard time paying for their medications. As a member of ASAP, Ellen will be able to access an important member benefit. The BetterRxCard and EquivaMeds service are two services that work as one.

First, Ellen is able to download the BetterRxCard for free directly from this webpage. She, her staff, and her clients can utilize their BetterRxCards to receive savings on their medications at participating pharmacies. Second, Ellen could choose to access the EquivaMeds consumer database at a drastically reduced price of $4.00 per use.

Here is how EquivaMeds works: Ellen takes an uninsured client’s prescription and enters the name of the drug into the EquivaMeds consumer database available to her through this webpage.

The EquivaMeds consumer database retrieves an inventory list of equivalent medications at lower costs. Ellen then prints out the EquivaMeds report and hands it to her client. The client takes the report back to his/her doctor for authorization of the comparable reduced price medication.

Ellen’s client purchases the new lower cost medications with ASAP’s sponsored BetterRxCard at one of 62,000 participating pharmacies, and receives not only the savings on the comparable
drug but receives an additional savings using the BetterRxCard.

It is important to note that the BetterRxCard can still be used alone to save on the medication if the client’s doctor doesn’t authorize the use of the lower cost medicine identified by EquivaMeds. As an ASAP member Ellen is able to increase the value of her agency’s services to her important client base using the BetterRxCard and EquivaMeds consumer database.
