About This App SIMPLY BETTER.™ ¦ SIMPLESCRIPTS RX ® SimpleScripts Rx is a discount prescription drug program and was created to help members save on prescriptions drugs even if they have a prescription benefit. Our program offers thousands of medications for less than many current co-pays. We have several options designed to help members choose how they want to shop and save: RETAIL PICK-UP. Members buy prescription medications via the app or website and pick them up at any RETAIL pharmacy in the U.S. After choosing the prescribed medication, the member buys the drug with their credit card or an HSA card. Upon payment, the member will be provided with a digital SimpleScripts Rx program card (like a receipt) to present to the pharmacist. Specific plans and all transactions are tracked by a unique Member ID number. The SimpleScripts Rx Program Card is accepted at over 70,000 pharmacies nationwide and is only available after the purchase has been made. Because the member pays for their medications through our app or online, there is no co-pay at the pharmacy counter. HOME DELIVERY. This often yields the deepest discounts. This choice is primarily for members on recurring medications consisting of 90-day supplies. As with the RETAIL option, the purchase will be tracked by a unique Member ID number. Our pharmacy partner, Advanced Pharmacy, LLC obtains all needed prescriptions and will mail the medications directly to the member’s home with free standard delivery included. It is recommended that members select our “auto-refill” feature for a hassle-free experience. More privacy. More savings. And no waiting in line. PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (PAP). Relief from those high-priced medications is possible! There are a variety of PAPs available from manufacturers, foundations, or government and non-government entities. Our PAP is the most comprehensive prescription assistance platform available in the US. You can potentially save thousands of dollars and the app or website will instantly tell you if PAP is available for that drug. SimpleScripts Rx has created the technology to expedite the qualification, ongoing registration process and requirements to make an already tough decision easier to make. There are no obligations to see if you qualify and the consultation is free. INSULIN PROGRAM. A safe and secure service that offers incredible discounts for diabetic testing supplies. In most cases, you will save over 50% on this simple and easy to use insulin program. You can also purchase testing supplies as you need them. All diabetic testing products are delivered directly to your home. Just choose your option and start saving today! And no prescription is required for our OTC diabetic testing supplies! ALTERNATIVE SOURCING. Save up to 66% on name-brand medications! Together, with our International Partners, we have built upon an already strong savings foundation with alternative sources designed to help you keep more of your money. Prescription medications offered through this service are sourced through fully- licensed pharmacies in reputable countries such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. All drugs come in original packaging as supplied direct from the manufacturer or government licensed wholesaler. With all these options at your fingertips to save, it’s no wonder members can be confident that nobody offers more choices to get their prescription medications for a fraction of the cost of those retail prices than SimpleScripts Rx.
