Yesterday I received RXRelief cards with my shipment from Swanson Vitamins. I tried to research them on the web (their site is RXRelief Card) because my questions are why did I get this, what will it cost me and just in general - why/what?
It is provided by HealthCare Alliance and the website says there is no cost to the user. There is a form to fill in (or phone number you can call) to get the cards. You can search to see if your drugs are covered (my Dilantin is but my Phenobarbitol is not). I checked on lamictal and keppra and they are both covered.
Haven't found anything definite about why they are doing this and I'm not absolutely sure they cover name brands (but they did have both Dilantin and Phenytoin listed so I'm thinking they are). Since I pay for my Dilantin out-of-pocket, I'm thinking I might try this. If you get medicine through your insurance they suggest you bring both cards (insurance & RXRelief) to the pharmacy to see which will give you a better deal.
Haven't read any real negatives except that it does seem too good to be true so there must be a catch.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has heard of this and possibly used it.
