CAN ONLY USE ONCE

I tried to use it a second time but pharmacist said the computer said expired for me since it only allows each person to use it once. I was hoping maybe it wa just at that pharmacy but same at other pharmacies. too bad cuz i can't get insurance. Helped once, should have used it for my more expensive meds, o well.

in facebook, needymeds put a response to the review that The reviewer says it can be used once only.... "We have one review that reflects a misunderstanding of the app." so it seems it is supposed to be a multiple use card. well, it gotta be...
Will not work at CVS or WALGREENS!!!!!!

Both pharmacists said needymeds is going out of biz!!!!
Excellent
ThanksNeedyMeds!
The Needy Meds discount card can be used multiple times- the reviewer who says otherwise is mistaken. The Needy Meds website, in addition to the discount card, also lists coupons for medications and THOSE are sometimes single-use but that is based on the conditions of each coupon and the drug company sponsoring it. Needy Meds also lists free and low cost health clinics and patient assistance programs. EXCELLENT website.

The pharmacy's data fields (on their computer) MUST be cleared before each use. The instructions are on the back of the card (2nd page " > " in-app). Some pharmacists & many technicians don't read the processing instructions, for a variety of reasons. ALSO: Many pharmacies have their own "in-house" discount programs (Walgreens, Publix, etc.) and prefer to use their own rather than pay the small fee to NeedyMeds. PS - I have been told that I'm not eligible to use a discount program because I have Medicare Part D. This is not entirely correct. I can't use a discount card "with" my other insurance. I can, however, use it "instead of" my insurance. It may have to be "rung up" as a separate purchase. I guess that some technicians/cashiers feel annoyed when I ask them to check both prices!
Works, but not the best option

This discount card worked for me at CVS, but the Rx discount card provided by my state (NC) took off several more dollars than this was able to. That said, I suppose this would be better than nothing.
