Discount Program Frequently Asked Questions
How

The discounts save you 10% to 60% on prescriptions at over 48,000
pharmacies nationwide, including CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Target and
more.
How
much does the feature cost?

program at no cost.
Does
everyone in my family need an individual card?
No. One card may be used by the entire family.
I
just received my card. Can I use it right away?
Yes, just present your card and prescription at a participating retail
pharmacy to receive a discount at the time of purchase.
I’ve
lost my card. How can I get a replacement card?
Please contact Big Country Electric Co-op.
How
are these pharmacy discounts different from traditional prescription
insurance?
This plan is not insurance; it is a pharmacy discount offer. The card
provides immediate discounts at the pharmacy. Upon presenting your card
to the pharmacist, you will pay the lower of a discounted price or the
pharmacy’s regular retail price. There are no forms to fill
out and no
limit to the number of times you can use the card. These discounts are
available only at participating retail pharmacies.
Can
I use my Co-op Connections card with my current insurance benefit to
reduce my costs?
Your card cannot be used with insurance. However, use your card to
purchase prescriptions not covered by your insurance plans at a
discounted rate.
Where
can I get a list of pharmacies that accept the card?
The Co-op Connections card is accepted at over 48,000 retail pharmacies
nationwide, including CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Target and more. You
can find participating pharmacy locations here or by calling
1-800-800-7616.
Will
I always receive the lowest price?
Yes. You will receive the best price available to you through this
program at the pharmacy. On occasion, pharmacies will price a
particular medication lower than the discount rate provided by the
card. If that occurs, you will receive the lower price.
Can
I find out the discounted price of my prescriptions before going to the
pharmacy?
Yes, if you know the name, strength and quantity of the medication, you
can find the discounted price of the medication here.
Why
did the price of my prescription change since my last purchase?
Drug prices are different from pharmacy to pharmacy. Even chains have
different prices in their stores depending on the population they
serve. Additionally, manufacturers’ drug prices change
periodically.
What
is the mail order program?
To ensure members always save money on their prescription drugs, a
unique mail order program was created to complement the network
pharmacy benefit. Since most maintenance (long term) medications are
purchased in 90 day supplies, members maximize savings and have the
convenience of home delivery (at no additional charge) by ordering
through the mail order option. Please call 1-800-800-7616 for more
information about this program.
Local Businesses
Participating businesses will enjoy free advertising and nationwide
promotion. If you would like your business to participate in this
