Free drug card available

(Birmingham, AL) – The Alabama Rx Card Program now provides "free" discount prescription drug cards to the residents of Alabama.

You can download a free discount prescription drug card by visiting www.alabamarxcard.com. Anyone not able to download a card from the website can visit any Alabama Bruno's, Foodmax, or FoodWorld and they will process your prescription through the program.

A press release published in a recent issue of the Dothan Eagle incorrectly stated that the cards were also available at CVS pharmacies.

The card can be used at more than 50,000 pharmacies across the country to receive savings of up to 75 percent (savings average around 30 percent). Participating pharmacies include the following: Bruno's, Food World, Food Max, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Winn-Dixie, K-Mart, and thousands of independent pharmacies.

Bruno's, Food World, and Food Max have been selected as the preferred pharmacies for the program. Bruno's, Food World, and Food Max have agreed to process prescriptions at all of its Alabama pharmacy locations. Anyone who does not have access to a computer to download a card from the www.alabamarxcard.com Web site can visit any Bruno's, Food World, or Food Max Pharmacy and they will process your prescription through the program. Bruno's Supermarkets, with headquarters in Birmingham operates 74 stores under the Bruno's, Food World and Food Max banners.

The Alabama Rx Card was launched to help the uninsured and under insured people of Alabama 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 HSA's and high deductible health plans). Additionally, people who have prescription coverage can use this program for non-formulary or non-covered drugs. This program even covers some pet medications (medications that are available at participating pharmacies).

The Alabama Rx Card program has no restrictions or participation requirements and the program is open to every resident of Alabama.

The Alabama Rx Card Program is powered by UNA Rx Card which is a division of United Networks of America. Programs have also been launched in New York, California, Texas, New Jersey, Ohio, Utah, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Arizona, Colorado, and Tennessee. UNA Rx Card is the fastest growing discount prescription card company in the United States.
