United Way of Marion County

Discount Prescription Cards Available through United Way

FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards are now available through United Way of Marion County to help people with no prescription coverage lower the cost of their medicine. People with health insurance can also use the cards to lower the cost of medicine not covered by their medical insurance.

The FamilyWize cards are being distributed free of charge by United Way of Marion County as part of an in-kind donation by Membership Services Corporation and its industry partners. The goal of the FamilyWize partnership is to reduce the cost of medicine for children, families and individuals by $100 million in five years.

Cards can be obtained by your local physician or pharmacy, by downloading a card from the FamilyWize web site, www.familywize.com, or by calling the United Way of Marion County at 304-366-4550. Most pharmacies in the United States accept the FamilyWize card. There are no usage or age limits, income requirements, or registration forms. Cards can be used immediately.

More than 10,000 community and faith-based organizations, county agencies, doctors, pharmacies, companies, and individuals across the country are now joined together in this partnership to distribute free FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards in their communities, reducing the cost of medicine for people in one out of every four counties in the United States. More than 500 participating United Way agencies, America’s Promise Alliance Partners, and individual counties in all 50 states and Puerto Rico have volunteered to coordinate these distribution efforts.

The savings on the cost of the medicine is provided by the more than 53,000 participating local pharmacies that have agreed voluntarily to accept prices for medications that are close to the prices they make available to large insurance companies and employers. All other program costs, including materials, printing, shipping, programming, distribution, reporting, administration, network pharmacy services and customer service are provided by in-kind donations from the program sponsors and by part of the processing fee included in the cost of the medicine.

"Healthcare costs are one of the top concerns for people in our community," said Marie Battles, executive director of United Way of Marion County. "The FamilyWize discount prescription drug cards will help families who otherwise could not afford much-needed prescription drugs.
