Free Prescriptions
Column #18, 7/22/00
by Jake Mossman, Owner of Taos Pharmacy

Taos Pharmacy is happy to announce another way to help you keep your prescription costs down. The NPAX Prescription Savings VISA is a combination charge card, frequent usage card, CALL ATT calling card program and NVA Vision care Benefits. When you use your NPAX VISA you accumulate credits that can be used toward prescription purchases. Credits are held in account by NPAX to be used automatically when purchasing a prescription, saved for future use, or transferred to a loved one in a time of need.

The NPAX program was developed to provide financial relief to people who have little or no prescription drug coverage, those who may not be covered when they retire, or to those who just want to lower their pharmacy bills. An important feature of this program is that your savings never expire. Accumulating savings dollars over years can add up to big savings that can be used later in life when you may need them more. Since the NPAX card is a VISA card you can use it at any pharmacy that accepts VISA, but to deposit 3% of your purchase price into your prescription savings account, your prescription must be filled at a participating pharmacy like Taos Pharmacy. Purchases other than prescriptions also result in credits deposited in your credit account. You will also receive an OPTIVISION Discount ID card that entitles you to 20-40% discounts on vision care services and eyewear at participating providers, and an ATT calling card that results in 10% of the cost of calls being credited to your savings credit.

In addition to this new program our INSURANCE BILLING SERVICE allows you to pay us only your percentage copay while we bill your insurance for the balance. Many people have prescription benefits that they are unaware of. We will call your insurance carrier to find out if you do have such benefits; we will track your deductible, and file claims for you! UFCW members can get FREE generic prescriptions at Taos Pharmacy while paying only 20% for brand name drugs after meeting only a $75 deductible.
