Companies Embrace Discount Prescription Card for Employees Without Rx Benefits

Many businesses and organizations report an increased use of a free drug card that doesn't have an enrollment requirement.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) December 16, 2005 -- Many businesses are reporting that their employees are receiving good discounts off of their prescription drugs when using their Rx101 Savers Card.

Jerry Crutchley, CEO of Heritage Consulting Group, Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio, is seeing an increase in the number of small businesses offering the card to their part and full time employees who have no prescription coverage. Since the card is free and there is no enrollment necessary, there is no cost to an employer to distribute the card to employees.

As one small business owner put it, "Because we cannot afford to provide prescription coverage for our employees, we are happy to be able to offer this program as an alternative. Small companies don’t have an employee dedicated to benefits, so the fact that this card is pre-activated is a real plus. No census, no enrollment ... that’s nice."

Larger employers are also realizing the benefits of the discount card. Some human resource personnel are reporting that health utilization is lower among enrollees of HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) than their other healthcare plans. The Rx101 Savers Card is a good fit for those plans simply because an HSA cannot use an insurance co-pay feature for prescription coverage.

Heritage’s Rx101 Saver’s Card is a free discount prescription card that is accepted at most neighborhood stores such as CVS, Eckerd’s, Rite-Aid, Target, Wal-Mart and many more. This card is available to order in quantities to employers at no charge.
