Drugstore.com writes a new rebate prescription
Drugstore.com Inc. is rolling out a "Free 30" program to help customers manage the cost of prescription medications. New drugstore.com pharmacy customers ordering a 90-day supply of any of more than 1,000 eligible generic prescription drugs will receive a rebate equal to the cost of a 30-day supply, a savings of up to $50, the company says.
"Consumers are increasingly aware that they can save money by comparing prices for prescription medications, especially online," says Dawn Lepore, CEO, drugstore.com. "With the new Free 30 program, we are inviting consumers to visit drugstore.com to compare our pricing for generic prescription drugs as well as consider the scope of vital health care information and services provided by our fully-licensed U.S. pharmacy."
The new Free 30 program offers additional savings on more than 1,000 generic prescriptions, representing more than 600 different compounds. While prices for many generic drugs are already below $4 per month when buying a 90-day supply, people filling generic prescriptions to treat conditions such as high cholesterol, acne and depression could save as much as $50, according to Drugstore.com Inc., No. 32 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide to Retail Web Sites.
The Free 30 program is offered to first time drugstore.com pharmacy customers only and does not apply to orders paid by insurance. However, even consumers with prescription drug insurance may benefit from the Free 30 program because many of the generic drugs offered by the drugstore.com pharmacy are priced lower than the typical co-pay required by some plans.
