I went to my local CVS pharmacy last week to fill a prescription for a family member. The cost for a one-month supply was $179.99. With the Veterans Advantage membership, the amount was reduced to $122.25 (32% off)! That’s a savings of $57.74. The savings from this one transaction nearly pays my membership fee for the whole year. But, this is a monthly prescription, so over one year, the savings on this prescription alone amounts to $692.88!

The Veterans Advantage Prescription Plan offers savings/discounts on prescription drugs up to 65% off. On average, it offers 20% off. Be sure to register your plan with your local pharmacy (the numbers are on the front of your VetRewards Card). Check for savings on all prescription drugs and pharmacies at VeteransAdvantage.com. You should always ask your Pharmacist to check the price of a prescription drug using your Veterans Advantage Prescription Plan, even if you have a co-pay. Like me, you could save a lot!

Our online pharmaceutical search tool recently added a pricing index of the most popular medications on one screen. We highlighted just one of them today, which actually represents a 42% savings on pricing listed on the Internet, but there are lots of others that can save you money throughout the year.

Our special RX Travel feature has been very popular as well, a downloadable discount card you can print out whenever you find yourself on the go.

This week we profile John Doman as our TopVet. As a marine and Vietnam Veteran, John has stared over the last 5 years, as the Police Chief in the HBO series “The Wire,” which is wrapping up this month after a successful five-year run. We salute John for his accomplishments and for his determined pursuit of a dream – to become an actor. He will tell you his Marine Corps experience had a lot to do with reaching his goal. You’ll enjoy reading his story.

Finally, a little bookkeeping–As a follow-up to a special Presidential Election poll in our last newsletter, you’ll be interested to know that about half our VA members voted for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be John McCain’s running mate in the November election. If you haven’t voted in our polls yet, please participate. Our next one comes out in two weeks, be on the lookout for our next e-newsletter.
