Discounted Healthcare Services
Our Discounted Healthcare Services are offered to help offset the high cost of healthcare. Students can receive 20%-30% discounts on local provider services that may not otherwise be covered under their insurance plan. The effect is to help stretch the student's limited dollars.
This non-insurance portfolio provides discounts for prescription medications, as well as dental, chiropractic, vision and hearing care.
This is NOT insurance. The plan does not make payments directly to the providers of medical services. The plan member is obligated to pay for all healthcare services but will receive a discount from those healthcare providers who have contracted with the discount plan organization.
For a list of providers in your area, simply call 1-866-215-3475 or click here type in your zip code, and select the type of provider you need.

How it works…
Students receive a fulfillment package that includes a benefit card. Students take their membership card with them to a participating pharmacy. The membership card is shown to the pharmacist. The pharmacist enters the information from the membership card into the on-line computer system and indicates eligibility for the special negotiated price. The savings will vary and the actual cost will be the contract price or the pharmacy's usual charge that day, whichever is lower. Because discounts are electronically determined, members are assured of receiving a consistent discount.
Prescription Medicine Mail Order Service
An important component of the prescription program is the mail order service option. The mail order service provides either brand name or generic drugs at significantly discounted prices. A 100-day supply of the prescription drug can be sent by mail order. The mail order pharmacy program is especially convenient for maintenance prescriptions.
How it works…
- The mail order form (click here) will provide the address to which you will send:
- Your mail order form
- A new prescription from your doctor
- Prepayment by check, money order or credit card.
- If a credit card is used, refills can be ordered by calling Sav-Rx customer service at (800) 396-2219. If a check or money order is used, refills can be ordered with the re-order envelope included with your original order.
- Your physician may also fax in a prescription to Sav-Rx at (888) 810-1394.
- All prescriptions are filled in full size packages of up to a 100-day supply. Please contact Sav-Rx at (800) 396-2219 for information on the package size and pricing for your medication.
- It is standard pharmacy practice to substitute generic equivalents for brand name drugs whenever possible, unless your physician will not allow a generic substitute or you specify otherwise.
- Most regular prescriptions are mailed via first class mail within 24 hours of receipt of your order by Sav-Rx. Please allow 3-6 business days mailing time after Sav-Rx processes your prescription.
Please call 1-866-215-3475 with any other questions.
NOTE: This Prescription Drug Plan cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount program.
