FamilyWize
Savings on prescription drugs
The United Way of Miami-Dade/ FamilyWize partnership has helped the
community save over $1 million on the cost of prescription medicines,
since its inception in 2008. Nearly 500 local pharmacies accept the
FamilyWize Prescription Drug Discount Card, and consumers are making
health conscious decisions by filling thousands of much-needed
prescription medicines every month.
The card is free of charge - there are no age restrictions, income
restrictions or limit on how many times a single card may be used. It
can be used by people who do not have health insurance, or for medicines
that are not covered by insurance plans. On average, consumers receive an average discount of
30 percent in prescription medicines, and
this past year alone, the card was used 38,000 times with more than
$600,000 in savings; 3 times more than in 2009-2010.
