Prescriptions
How do prescriptions work?
Impact members don't gain access to a standalone solution like coupons or rebates to use at your local pharmacy to 'save' on prescriptions; instead, they enjoy access to a premier network of pharmacies that offer wholesale direct pricing to Impact members.
And this access gives members the real prices (aka skip the “markups and fees” part) on prescriptions.
Say goodbye to coupons and hello to more than 65,000 participating pharmacies. Plus, our members can easily check pricing in their member center, ensuring they always get the best price and total price transparency.
It feels good to get honest prescription prices.

Prescriptions & Impact
Prescription medication expenses for prescribed drugs that may be dispensed, injected, or administered may be credited toward the PRA if they are not considered a treatment for chronic conditions that were preexisting when the member joined Impact.
Prescription medications must be purchased using the member ID card (see RX information on the card). Members pay 100% of the prescription amount at the pharmacy.
The sharable amount is limited to $1200 per member per membership year after the PRA has been met.
Exceptions may be made in the case of medications for cancer and transplant recipients.
Note: Adult members 65 and older must have Medicare Part D for prescription costs to be Eligible for Sharing. (Including prescriptions for pre-existing conditions.) All sharing will be secondary to Medicare.
After the member’s PRA has been met, the prescription amount may be shared as follows:
- After the first $25 on generic drug prescription.
- After the first $50 on brand name prescription when a generic is unavailable.
- Prescription medications must be purchased using the member ID card (see Rx information on the card)
- Members pay 100% of the prescription amount at the pharmacy
- Prescription drugs that may be dispensed, injected or administered
- Psychotropic medication and birth control expenses are not eligible for sharing
