Dear OH members,

ObesityHelp is happy to announce our new ObesityHelp Drug Discount Card.  In coordination with NeedyMeds, ObesityHelp is offering this card to our members at no charge.  

This ObesityHelp Drug Discount Card offers you another way to save on various prescription costs.  You can save up to 80% off the price of certain prescription medications.  Members can use the card if not covered by insurance or by members that decide not to use their insurance.  For instance, if a prescription medication is not covered under your insurance plan, the co-payment or deductible is high, if the maximum benefit has been exceeded, or if they are in the donut hole, members can utilize this card.  The drug discount card is not an insurance plan, but provides patients with discounted rates on prescriptions. When this card is presented with a valid prescription to a pharmacist, a 0-80% discount may be provided.  However, you may ask the pharmacist to process the discount card through the pharmacy system, as well as your insurance card, then choose whichever offers the best savings. The discount card often provides better discounts than many insurance plans. 

The ObesityHelp Drug Discount Card is accepted at over 61,000 participating pharmacies (within the U.S. and territories) and includes large chains stores such as Walgreens, CVS and Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid and other regional chains and local stores.  Additionally, the ObesityHelp Drug Discount Card can be used for over-the-counter medications and medical supplies if they are written on a prescription along with pet prescription medications purchased at a pharmacy.  Your card can be shared with friends and family members, and you are invited to print a card for their use too.  The card is active now and has no expiration date. When the ObesityHelp Drug DiscountCard is used, OH will receive a minimal amount to assist us as we make the journey with our members to fight obesity. If your pharmacist is not familiar with the drugdiscount card, they can call Argus Health Systems at 866-921-7284. The phone number is found on back of the card. 

What If I Have Insurance?

Anyone can use the ObesityHelp Drug Discount Card card but it cannot be combined with insurance.  You can use it instead of insurance if:

• The insurance has no drug coverage
• There is a high drug deductible
• There is a low medicine cap that has been met
• There is a high copay and the card offers a better price
• You are in the Medicare Part D donut hole

The card cannot be used to lower a co-payment.

A Few Things You Should Know

• This card is not an insurance program-it's a discount card.
• There may be no savings for certain drugs, including many inexpensive generics.

Here's how it works:

• Download your ObesityHelp Drug Discount card HERE and print the page.
• Cut out the card.
• Give the card to the pharmacist along with your prescription.
• The pharmacist will tell you how much you can save using our drug discount card. 
  

ObesityHelp appreciates our members!!  Look for more exciting things to come for OH members!

  Good Tuesday Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a great week.   Mine is going good.    Today I am SO grateful for Life and my WLS.     Life is going good for me and my family right now.    In early August I am going to  be a first time grandmother and I am SO excited about it.    We will find out in about a month if we are having a granddaughter or grandson.    Grateful for the blessings from God of a new baby in our family.    This little angel is going to be SO spoiled.   LOL   Grateful also for my WLS and all the choices of surgeries.     To be perfectly honest when I heard about WLS I truly had my doubts that it would work for me....afterall.....I had been over weight 99% of my life.     But my WLS and all the others truly DO WORK if and I say if because there are always exception to the rules.....you have to do as you are told and you have to make llifelong choices of good foods and watch your portion sizes too.    I am SO grateful for my WLS.    PLEASE share with us today what you too are grateful for.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Glad I could help! I've been the same way, and it has only served to make me miserable and feel like a failure before I really have even started!

  Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you had a great weekend.   I had a wonderful weekend.   I spent all day saturday with my son in Teen Challenge.     We just goofed off in the town he is in and took in a IMAX movie about Tornados then I headed north for 5  hours home.     Today I am grateful for a good car and safe trip.   I am grateful more than anything about my Faith.    Faith that my car will get me where I need to go without any problems.....Faith that when my son graduates from Teen Challenge in August that he will have a good life and be drug free forever......Faith that I will not ever regain all my weight back since my WLS and Faith in my heavenly father.   We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for.....PLEASE share with us if you will what you are grateful for today and have  a blessed day !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
