Retailer offers members thousands of
medications at a discount with Rx for less program
Walmart+ members are now able to unlock exclusive savings on
thousands of the most commonly prescribed medications through a new
members-only prescription savings program the retailer is calling
Walmart+ Rx for less.
Walmart+ Rx for less joins a growing list of benefits offered to
Walmart+ members. The program delivers additional savings on the
most commonly prescribed medications across a variety of health
needs, including heart health, mental health, antibiotics,
allergies and diabetes management. Any member with a paid Walmart+
membership* now has access to select medications at zero cost, and
thousands of additional prescription medications at a discount of
up to eighty-five percent.**
Since 2006, Walmart Pharmacy patients have saved on
prescriptions through the retailer’s industry-changing $4 generics
program. Customers will continue to benefit from that program in
all Walmart pharmacies. And for those looking to save even more on
their medications, membership has its benefits.
“With Walmart+ Rx for less, we’re providing incredible value to
Walmart+ members on the prescriptions they rely on most,” said Dr.
Cheryl Pegus, executive vice president, Health and Wellness,
Walmart U.S. “When you consider the frequency with which many
prescriptions are filled, the importance of medication adherence
and the ease of multiple fulfilment options, we can make it easier
for someone to manage their medical conditions. As a company, we’re
on a journey to make healthcare more accessible and affordable with
our pharmacists providing their clinical expertise to our
customers.”
Walmart+ members can choose to use the prescription discount
program instead of their insurance benefits by presenting their
pharmacy savings card along with a valid prescription at any
Walmart Pharmacy location. Walmart+ member discounts can also be
applied to e-prescriptions provided from a prescriber and
transferred to the Walmart Pharmacy. The prescription savings
program is administered by MedImpact, a trusted pharmacy benefit
management company and a leader in Rx discounts, and includes
prescriptions such as Cephalexin, Metformin, Lisinopril and
more.
“We’re designing Walmart+ to be the ultimate life hack for our
customers. It’s been our commitment from the beginning to continue
to grow the suite of benefits we offer Walmart+ members. We know we
can use our size and scale to help simplify things for our
customers in a way only we can,” added Janey Whiteside, executive
vice president and chief customer officer, Walmart U.S.
This prescription savings program complements a suite of
benefits already available to Walmart+ members, including:
- Unlimited free delivery from stores: In-store prices as
fast as same-day on more than 160,000 items, from fresh groceries
and household essentials to tech and toys.
- No shipping minimums for online orders: Members receive
free next-day and two-day shipping on items shipped by Walmart no
matter the basket total
- Mobile Scan & Go: Using the Walmart app, customers
can scan their items as they shop and pay using Walmart Pay for a
quick, easy, touch-free payment experience.
- Fuel discounts: Fill up and save up to 5 cents a gallon
at nearly 2,000 Walmart, Sam’s Club, Murphy USA and Murphy Express
fuel stations.
*Walmart+ Rx for Less is only available to Walmart+ paying
members once their free trial concludes. **Not available in all
states. The program is not insurance and cannot be combined with
insurance. Savings off of the overall regular nationwide retail
pharmacy prices based upon 2020 national program savings data from
