Best legitimate pharmacy affiliate card program

[vardenafil]

Anybody use? Or can refer me to a rx pharmacy savings card affiliate program. I see some plans on line that will supposedly pay you every time that someone uses your discount card. I found a post about something similar to this a few months back. But the ones I found seem kind of sketchy. They want way too much information like your social security or tax id number etc...

FYI, they require your SSN/tax ID because they are required to report your income to the IRS, ones that do not require this would actually be more sketchy.

Might be a conflict of interest to be using these in your own pharmacy

I still don't get how these cards work? Like how do they make money)

I always assumed that the card set up a deal with the drug companies. So a person uses the card, the price drops by $10, the drug company pays the card people $12, person who is handing out the card gets a dollar, the card people keep a dollar and give $10 to the pharmacy to pay for the discount? At the end of the day the drug company is just handing out a discount and the card people take a fee to administer it.

I have no actual idea this is just the only thing that makes sense to me.

Now that I think about it a little bit more I'm pretty sure the pharmacy has to pay a fee to the card people to participate in the program too. Since those cards advertise copays on their site and essentially direct people to the pharmacy with the lowest copay. So those discount card people are just scum bags who take a little money from the pharmacy and also take a cut of the discount offered by the drug company. But this is just pure guessing.

Lol, not at all.

Here's what actually happens:

Discount card people distribute cards.

Patient uses card.
Pharmacy receives $0.00.

Card company charges pharmacy $3.00. ,

Mouth breather who gets paid pennies to leave cards in doctor's office gets $0.20.

Feel free to shoot me a PM, but I'm familiar with this one:

http://www.yourrxhelp.biz/help1023/en/index.html

as stated above, they ask for your SSN or tax id because it is taxable income, basically it pays $1-2.20 per claim paid monthly for the previous month's claims

Why do we even take them then? I know when I was at CVS for non-covered OTCs techs would always put in one of these cards, that way the system didn't prompt them to call the patient to tell them that the drug isn't covered by their ins lmao. I'm pretty sure every patient in the computer had one of them damn things on their profile. I always just put chose not to call because it was ******ed to call them anyways but I wonder how much money they lost.

Most chain pharmacies take these cards just to retain the customer (customer service) but they don't promote them or offer them to people. The person that distributes the cards usually gets $1 per paid claim and is paid monthly by the discount card company. I think the discount card makes money by charging the pharmacy a DUR fee.

We use www.universityhealthgroup.com for a few of our outpatient clinics, (their website is pretty basic but I can vouch for them paying on time and being legitimate) it pays a bit better than the previously quoted card, I believe it is 1.25-2.75 for pharmacists or clinics that they pay out. Pays out monthly like clockwork for any of our clinics and we use the money for a patient assistance fund to give out to patients. Very little effort required on our end, and works out to several hundred dollars per month a slow clinics to maybe several thousand per year at busy clinics that write for/send out lots of RXs. PM me and I can get you in touch with the marketing manager there if you want. It doesn't cost anything to get set up on it and works great if you are using it to give to social workers at your hospital, an outpatient clinic, or just if you are giving it out personally to patients and want to keep the $ for yourself etc. I believe they only ask for SSN after you earn more than $600 in a year as they need to file a 1099 at that point, otherwise I don't think you need it when you register.

Great idea, I work for a small clinic pharmacy, I think we'll look into that and the other one above, Thanks!
