Prescription Costs are Broken.

How the RxSaveCard Works
.01
Employer Funds
the Card
Each month, the employer funds a set amount on the RxSaveCard per employee. Unused funds will roll over, so the employer only replenishes what’s been spent.
.02
Employee Goes to Their Local Pharmacy
The RxSaveCard gives employees the power to find the lowest prices on their medications at over 65,000 pharmacies, including online programs like Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs.
.03
The Lowest Price
is Calculated
At the pharmacy counter, the RxSaveCard instantly compares the cash price from multiple discount cards, ensuring the lowest cost.
.04
Everybody Benefits
Employers get access to lower drug prices without changing their
Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). Employees enjoy lower out-of-pocket costs.

Challenges in Existing Marketplace
- ERISA Compliance: When lower prices exist, employers have a Fiduciary obligation to access those prices for the Benefit Plan and for the employees.
- Limited Choice: Traditional pharmacy benefit plans often restrict consumer choice instead of encouraging competition.
- Opaque Pricing: Lack of transparency, with markups and fees that drive up the cost of certain medications for employers and employees.
RxSaveCard: The Solution
- Cash Price Savings: Employers leverage the lowest cash discount price for medications, saving 40% - 60% on many common prescriptions.
- Freedom of Choice: Employees can choose from over 65,000 pharmacies they prefer, whether in-person or online, giving them flexibility and convenience.
- Transparent Pricing: With RxSaveCard, employers and employees pay the pharmacy directly, eliminating any PBM hidden fees or markups.
RxSaveCard + Your PBM = The Complete Rx Benefits Package
Cash prices and discount card prices are often lower than what is available through traditional pharmacy contracts. RxSaveCard allows your company to access these lower prices, saving money for your company and your employees, without having to change the structure of your current PBM.
