Wickenburg Rx Card
Wickenburg area residents can download a free card, search drug pricing,
and locate participating pharmacies at www.wickenburgchamber.com
Click on to benefits and scroll down to the RX Card Information and print
out.
Carry this card with you at all times and encourage others to use it as well.
Pick up as many cards as you need.
The free prescription card can provide savings of up to 75% on prescription
drugs and is accepted at over 50,000 pharmacies across the country.
The Wickenburg RX Card was launched two years ago to help uninsured
and underinsured residents afford their prescription medications. However,
the program can also be used by people who have health insurance
coverage with no prescription benefits, which is common in many health
savings accounts (HSA) and high deductible health plans.
Additionally, people who have prescription coverage can use this program
for non-formulary or non-covered drugs. The card can also be used for
your pet medication if purchased through the pharmacy. The Wickenburg
RX Card has no restrictions to membership, no income or age limitations,
and residents are not required to fill out an application or provide personal
information to obtain a free card. It is pre-activated and does not expire.
It can be used by multiple members of a household.
