Lupus of Nevada has partnered up with a Representative from HealthTrans to help provide a way that our members can receive a discount on their pharmacy drugs. Health Trans rolled out this program in New York City to great success. You can read more in this press release, Click here. The words from Mayor Michael Bloomberg quoted as saying:
Get your Card Here
“All too often, the rising costs of prescription drugs place a burden on New York City
households. And this is particularly true for the more than one million New Yorkers who
don’t have health insurance,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “Having access to a free prescription
drug card can mean the difference between being able to afford prescriptions and being
forced to skip doses. That’s why we pledged to issue a New York City card on the campaign
trail in 2009 – and now we’re fulfilling that promise with the launch of the BigAppleRx
card.”
“I was prescribed Clomiphene Citrate, which isn't covered by my insurance. I went to my local CVS pharmacist, who told me the retail price would be $162.00. I did a search online with my discount card and found a pharmacy two doors down selling it for $72.00.”

“At first I was skeptical. After all, how can a free program save anyone money? But after telling the representative about the expenses my family was enduring due to my youngest son’s Leukemia medications, he recommended I do a price comparison. WOW!! My son is currently taking 4 prescriptions: Cellcept, Bacterin, Gleevec, and Prednizon. The prescription discount card either beat or matched the price offered by my Blue Cross PPO prescription plan. Over all I saved almost $300.00 per month. I saved $200.00 on the Cellcept alone. Thanks again for keeping your eye out for great programs such as this card to help families like mine survive a rough financial time.”
