Program Description:

The Indiana Drug Card is a FREE prescription assistance program that is available to all residents of the state of Indiana. The Indiana Drug Card was launched in July of 2009 to help the uninsured and underinsured afford their prescription medications. Those with insurance can also use the program for medications not covered through their pharmacy benefits. Additionally, those with health savings accounts (HSA) or high deductible plans can use this program to help reduce out of pocket costs.

The Indiana Drug Card is now working with the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns. No personal information is required to join the program and there are no enrollment forms, no eligibility requirements, and no restrictions of any kind. Average savings using Indiana Drug Card is about 30% but some may see savings as high as 80%, depending on the medication. This card is accepted over 68,000 pharmacies nationwide. This Program is not insurance.

The Indiana Drug Card is a simple solution to the confusing maze of discount programs that have appeared in recent years. Residents of Indiana can obtain a pre-activated free Rx card, search drug pricing, and locate participating pharmacies by visiting www.indianadrugcard.com.
