Affordable Prescription Drug Card For Medicare Enrollees: Features Update

CareCard, a prescription medication card that works for those with insurance or Medicare, has updated the features it offers to users seeking lower-cost medications.

New York, United States - October 18, 2023 /PressCable/ —

With the US Department of Health and Human Services reporting that the cost of over 1,200 prescription drugs rose faster than inflation from 2021 to 2022, CareCard has updated its features to provide Medicare enrollees with easier ways to find low-price drugs. The company has enhanced its price comparison interface, making it easier for patients to find the cost of drugs at their local pharmacy by simply entering their zip code.

CareCard’s updated features are available for individuals with or without insurance or Medicare, meaning there are no insurance-based exclusions for using the card. Oftentimes, patients find that the price of a prescription obtained through CareCard is cheaper than the cost through Medicare. Purchases made through CareCard do not count towards Medicare or insurance deductibles, the company explains.

According to Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute, Americans aged 65 to 79 pay over 250% more annually for out-of-pocket prescription drug costs than the average adult. A CareCard membership allows Medicare users to lessen the financial burden of rising medication costs.

The prescription drug card is intended to be simple to use for Medicare’s 65-year-old population and can be used the same way it would be at any grocery store. The pharmacist applies the cost reduction immediately so that adopters can take advantage at the time of purchase. Tech-savvy seniors can also use the CareCard app for greater convenience.

CareCard can be used for entire families, as well as for pet medications, the company says.

About CareCard

CareCard’s founders were inspired to create the company after being personally frustrated with the fluctuating and often frustratingly high costs of prescription drugs. Across America, over 60,000 pharmacies accept CareCard, with the company negotiating directly with each pharmacy to obtain low prices for its members.

An individual who recently used the CareCard app at their local CVS said, “My prescription was $57 before using CareCard and was $27 after using it. New favorite app. Going to use it every time I pick up my prescription.”
