Maryland Rx Card

MedChi is expanding support for Maryland's free discount drug card program.  The Maryland Rx Card provides savings of up to 75% on prescription drugs at local pharmacies.  This program has no restrictions to membership, no income requirements, no age limitations and there are no applications to fill out.

Maryland Rx Card was launched to help the uninsured and underinsured residents afford their prescription medications. However, the program can also be used by people who have health insurance coverage with no prescription benefits.  Additionally, people who have prescription coverage can use this program for non-formulary or non-covered drugs.
