Members will be able to save money on thousands of generic, brand medications

MILWAUKEE - Aurora Pharmacy launched Aurora Pharmacy Prescription Savings Club (APPSC), a prescription savings club program for patients who are uninsured or underinsured on June 15.

For an $11.95 annual fee, patients will be able to receive a 30-day prescription of more than 300 generic drugs for $4.99 and 90-day prescriptions of these same generics for $10.99. Customers will receive $12 in coupons for Aurora Pharmacy brand products when they enroll.

"In today's economy, it's important that we offer our patients additional ways to save," said John Gates, director of operations for Aurora Pharmacy. "The prescription club can provide a great savings for people who do not have prescription drug coverage or insurance that does not cover all their medication needs."
