HUNTLEY ā Amazon just recently announced the arrival of a new Prime membership benefit from Amazon Pharmacy called RxPass.
The new program offers patients affordable access to commonly prescribed generic medications that treat more than 80 common health conditions, according to Amazon Regional PR Specialist Erica Duncan.
With RxPass, Prime members can receive all of their eligible medications for one flat, low monthly fee of $5 per month, which also has the bonus of being delivered free of charge.
Amazon states that there are no hidden fees and no markups to the $5 a month subscription, with the new feature becoming available to Amazon Prime members in most U.S. states on Jan. 24.
āPrime members already get fast, free delivery on prescription medications, and RxPass is one more way to save with Amazon Pharmacy. Any customer who pays more than $10 a month for their eligible medications will see their prescription costs drop by 50% or more, plus they save time by skipping a trip to the pharmacy,ā said John Love, vice president of Amazon Pharmacy. āWe are excited to offer our customers surprisingly simple, low pricing on eligible medications they need each month.ā
To enroll in RxPass, Prime members can visit Amazon.com or simply go onto the Amazon mobile app to create or update their Amazon Pharmacy profile.
Once there, customers will be guided through a simple sign-up process that verifies their eligibility and prescription information. If customers have questions during the enrollment process or after a prescription arrives, Amazon pharmacists are on hand 24/7 to coordinate with a customerās doctor or help with refills.
For those unfamiliar with the current service, Amazon Pharmacy offers choice and convenience, whether customers are paying with insurance or not, according to Duncan.
When not using insurance, Prime members now have two, innovative, affordable options to pay for prescription medications. Prime members who typically take two or more medications per month to manage chronic or ongoing health conditions could save significant time and money with the $5 a month RxPass subscription, added Duncan.
Alternately, Prime members can save with the Prime prescription savings benefitāavailable for no additional feeāto get discounts up to 80% off generic and 40% off brand name medications at more than 60,000 participating pharmacies nationwide, including Amazon Pharmacy and the PillPack by Amazon Pharmacy service.
