Can I use this FreeRxPlus card along with my health insurance?

Well if you are like me and still have private health insurance then you might not need to use the card.  Unless the same thing that happened to me happens to you then by all means please carry it with you.  I had to go to CVS in February 2012 to get for my oldest son his prescription for Bromfed DM.  My insurance denied coverage for the drug because it was considered to be over the counter medication.  So I've decided to use the FreeRxCard and it helped me out with a seventeen dollar discount.  I had to pay cash forty nine dollars for the Bromfed DM after the discount was applied.  So even though you may carry health insurance a situation like that may occur.  Don't forget to check what your health insurance covers when it comes to lab tests and imaging.  This card also provides a discount up to 50% for those services.  Maybe today you will say "Nah I'm good" but tommorow might bring a situation where you might need to have the FreeRxPlus card with you.

Who is my FreeRxPlus representative?

Hello my name is Dennis Shepard.  I live in Brownsville, Texas, USA.  Since my strongest interest was science, I chose to study medical laboratory technology at Texas Southmost College/UTB and graduated with a degree in 1997.  I've worked as a medical laboratory technician for fourteen years.  I've been very lucky to have worked with many health care professionals throughout my years which led me to have good interpersonal relationships with them. Well I've seen a few changes in health care.  One good example would be the increase of access to health care by the opening of new private practice.  I've seen the emergence of new physician offices, clinics, and hospitals in South Texas.  But will that change once the new health care reform is in full effect?  Apart from working as a medical technologist I also work as an independent representative for FreeRxPlus.  This company provides free pharmacy, laboratory, and imaging discount cards to the public.  I've never seen or heard of any program like this in my fourteen years working in the clinical lab.  I've been a consumer and had to purchase prescription medicine such as antibiotics, allergy, nebulizers, pain and blood pressure medications for my family.  So I believe everyone at sometime in their life goes to a pharmacy and spend money on medicine.  I recommend that you get this free card from me if you do not have health insurance.  As a FreeRxPlus representative it is my job to inform the public of current health care issues and make known this free program.   It won't be easy to give cards to everyone who is in real need of this free program.  The Rio Grande Valley has a history of  being more poor compared to other areas of the nation. My work will not just stop at the Rio Grande Valley but to also continue on to the rest of  Texas and the entire United States of America.  If you believe in helping me help others save money for those unexpected out of pocket medical expenses then please share this information with others.  By doing so you will be making a significant impact on this economic piece of the American health care pie.
