Arizona ORGANIZATIONS THAT provide FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

The Arizona CoppeRx Card Combats skyrocketing drug prices.
Provides significant discounts on prescription drugs for all Arizona residents. Savings range from 15 percent to 55 percent or more, depending on the medication and pharmacy used. The state’s discount program has already saved more than $16 million for participating Arizonans.
This program is available to all Arizona residents at no charge. The greatest savings will be for those who do not currently have health insurance with prescription drug coverage (or those who regularly exceed their maximum yearly benefit for prescription drugs). If you do not already have full prescription drug coverage, this program could save you money.
