How to Use RxSaver Prescription Coupons During Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We know that savings are more important than ever especially during these turbulent times. Many of our customers have reached out for advice on how to use RxSaver coupons safely during COVID-19.

These customers have good instincts; it’s critical to take extra care when picking up or refilling your prescription medications right now. According to the CDC coronavirus is spread through close personal contact (within about 6 feet) and through respiratory droplets such as saliva or mucus from an infected person. Taking simple precautions during your pharmacy trip can help protect you, the pharmacy staff, and other customers from illness.

How can I practice social distancing and use RxSaver at my local pharmacy?

Prescription delivery and drive-thru, are good options to get your Rx medicine from your local pharmacy while practicing social distancing. These minimize your contact with other people while still allowing you to manage your health and get your prescription medications.

Can I use RxSaver for prescription delivery?

Many national retailers are offering free delivery at this time so check your free prescription delivery options before heading out the door to pick up a routine prescription. To use an RxSaver coupon on your delivery, simply provide the coupon codes via phone at the time of payment. 

Can I use RxSaver at the pharmacy drive-thru?

If your pharmacy doesn’t offer delivery, consider using the drive-thru window. Prepare for your visit by printing your RxSaver coupon for easy sharing at the drive-through window. No printer? You can read the coupon codes to the pharmacist, or write them out by hand in a pinch. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and after the pharmacy visit.

You can also call ahead to the pharmacy and let them know you'll be using an RxSaver coupon on your prescription. Be sure to read the pharmacy the codes from the coupon so they can apply the discount before you pick up the prescription.

Can I use RxSaver at online pharmacies? 

Home delivery from an online pharmacy is a good choice for minimizing your contact with other people. The virtual pharmacy HealthWarehouse is available through our website and their prices may be cheaper than your local pharmacy. Search your medication to see HealthWarehouse prices and get your prescriptions delivered.

What if I need to visit the pharmacy counter in person?

If your pharmacy doesn’t have a drive-thru window or delivery, there are still ways to minimize your exposure inside the pharmacy.

Fill All of Your Prescriptions at the Same Time

First, you can call ahead to ask your pharmacist to fill all your medications for the month at one time, as this will allow for a one-time, in-person pick up. If your preferred pharmacy is Kroger, don’t forget about their Sync Up program which makes it easier to manage all your medications at once.

Give RxSaver coupon information to the pharmacist via the phone instead of sharing your phone at the counter

Another way to shorten your time in the pharmacy is by calling ahead to give them your coupon information. Be sure to have your coupon either pulled up on your computer or on your mobile phone so you are ready to provide the information once you talk to the pharmacy staff. By calling ahead, you won’t need to show the coupon on your mobile phone, which could spread germs.

The pharmacy will need the following codes to process your coupon: BIN NUMBER, PCN Letters, ID#, GROUP Code.

Medication Available for Home Delivery

RxSaver joined forces with online pharmacy GeniusRx to expand its prescription savings and offer free home delivery. Check to see if your medication is available for home delivery directly through RxSaver.

Practice Good Hygiene and Social Distancing at the Pharmacy

Finally, be sure to use good hygiene and social distancing during your visit.

• Wash your hands before and after your pharmacy visit
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth while you are in the pharmacy
• Put distance between yourself and other people, at least six feet if possible
• Bring your own pen instead of using the one at the register
• If you did not call ahead with your coupon details, show the pharmacist your phone instead of handing it to them to minimize contact
• Or give a printed coupon which can be discarded after use
