Can I find out the discounted price of my prescriptions
before going to the pharmacy? Because prices can vary by
location, only the actual pharmacy can tell you the exact price of
the prescription. However, you can look up an estimated price for
medications at www.caremark.com/naco, or call toll free 1
(877) 321-2652.

periodically.
-
The brochure says I can save an average of 20 percent on
my prescription medication. Will I save 20 percent on all my

and customary charge can differ greatly by pharmacy, your exact
percentage of savings may vary depending on the prescription drug
and the price you have paid before.
-
Do I have to choose between my prescription discount
card and the Wal-Mart $4 generic option?

when applicable, and the prescription discount card discounted
price when it is lower.
-
Should I still present my prescription discount card at
Wal-Mart when buying a $4 generic?

prescriptions not covered by a prescription drug benefit plan. For

the prescription discount card price, whichever is lower.
