Follow on Google News | World's Largest Medical Tourism Network Now Offers up to 90% Savings on Prescriptions in the USMercury Healthcare International, Inc. (MHI) and RXCut have joined forces to provide MHI clients and members up to 90% savings on prescription medications for members and their pets. The discounts work on all FDA approved medications.
By: Francesca Glenn, MHA Through a corps of health benefits agents, brokers and consultants, MHI offers more than 35,000 employers in the USA with self-funded health benefit plans the opportunity for their plan members to access MHI's negotiated network rates on routine, urgent, emergent and elective procedures and offers full health travel logistics coordination and case management in the USA and abroad. The company also offers a voluntary enrollment program for individual and family access to the network under a membership program with over 2.3 million card-carrying individual consumer clients who enjoy MHI membership savings in addition to any insurance coverage they may currently have or who might be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid programs, and to others without any insurance coverage. Now, in addition to being able to elect domestic or international health travel as an option for scheduled, elective, high-cost medically necessary diagnostic and surgical procedures, MHI clients and members can access prescription discounts at most local chain and independent pharmacies throughout the USA. For members of self-funded health benefit plans and labor unions, typically, pharmacy copays are more than $25 and some medications may not be covered at all. Our new program will most likely save money on any prescription where the copay is more than $10. Some of our members have saved up to 90% at Walgreens, CVS, Costco and Sam's Club. In addition to the mail order savings available, MHI also offers website where members of the public can access savings just like they access medical tourism packages. On this special webpage, they can look up their medications by dose and quantity, find participating pharmacies within a 25 mile radius and then know the price and the discount before they go to the pharmacy. The discounts work in addition to any prescription coverage they may currently have and can also save money on the Medicare Donut Hole. "In some cases, for medications like antibiotics, blood thinners, diabetes medicines and antidepressants, the savings are excellent and often save money on generic prescription except for the inexpensive $4 prescriptions already pre-discounted by the pharmacies," MHI members get the prescription savings at more than 54,000 pharmacies as a free added bonus of membership. Examples of the Prescription Savings Our Members Have Been Experiencing “Offering a prescription savings benefit to our clients and 2.3 million card-carrying members seems like a no-brainer when you consider how many people live and work without prescription coverage, and how often medications go unfilled in favor of paying rent or heating bills or buying groceries,” said Todd. “We’re doing our part to improve health quality and medication compliance with access to affordable care. Employers who offer our programs save so much money on prescription costs alone that they tend almost completely offset our network access fees for routine, urgent, emergent care and elective surgery. "Each month we've received testimonials about how people saved money with our free card that enabled them to cover some other important bill without being forced to choose filling a prescription their doctor prescribed," In one hour last week, for one community in the state of Indiana, 29 prescriptions were purchased at local chain and independent pharmacies and the average savings were 38.58%. This is replicated nationwide on a free card "Individuals can save up to 90% on their prescription expenses and get a free pharmacy discount card to use at 54,000 locations nationwide simply by going to our website at http://www.rxcut.com/ For self-funded benefit plans and unions, the prescription savings to the plans are remarkable. With our free pharmacy discount card, plan participants and their families are instructed to use the discount card first to determine what their out of pocket spend will be on their prescriptions. In many cases, if the copayment is $10-25 with their insurance plan, the entire cost of the prescription would have been lower without involving their pharmacy benefit, and therefore no claims expense is incurred to their plan, thus no claim cost recorded on claims experience. # # # About Mercury Healthcare International, Inc.
