Manufactures Coupons
- If one has Part D Rx, the manufacturers cannot help out with coupons. One might consider dropping Part D or if you have Medicare Advantage Plan, finding one that doesn’t include Part D.
- We CANNOT advise you to do this. It’s beyond our pay grade and we are mandated to tell you about the penalty if you don’t purchase Part D. I’m having trouble finding a reliable plain English citation for this. Scroll down for hints from one of our wholesalers on using coupons and not using your Part D Rx plan.
- The intention for coupons is to steer patients away from cheaper generic alternatives and toward the brands that they produce. That is to increase demand for their drugs. Experts estimate that brand drug manufacturers are spending between $3 billion and $6 billion annually on coupon programs. Anti-Kick Back and all. HHS Report Mfg safeguards might not prevent coupons for Part D Rx. Legally, the use of drug co-pay cards and coupons by individuals with government funded health care and prescription drug benefits, such as Medicare and Medicaid, is prohibited by the federal anti-kickback statute.
- (2) Whoever knowingly and willfully offers or pays any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate) directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind to any person to induce such person—
- (A) to refer an individual to a person for the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of any item or service for which payment may be made in whole or in part under a Federal health care program, or SSA.gov
- (2) Whoever knowingly and willfully offers or pays any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate) directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind to any person to induce such person—

- M ANUFACTURER SAFEGUARDS MAY NOT PREVENT COPAYMENT COUPON USE FOR PART D DRUGS
Here’s some hints from our wholesaler…
Coupons are allowed to be used in Medicare, but it is tricky. When a client uses a coupon, or a GoodRX or even the pharmacies billing costs (which are sometimes cheaper than the plan copay) the drug doesn’t get run through Medicare, it becomes a cash pay situation and it doesn’t go against the Medicare deductibles, donut hole, etc. So that is the negative.
I have many clients that have purchased drugs directly from the pharmacy to get a lower cost, and some that have used Good RX or even just googled their drugs and bought them online at a cheaper cost.
There are certain things that are much cheaper online, Progesterone is a big one that my female clients find cheaper online..
So, if the pharmacy will work with the client to help them find the lowest cost, there are alternatives for our Medicare clients. Not all pharmacies will do this however, so it is good to do some research on more expensive drugs to find alternative solutions.

We do not know who they are. We are not endorsing them. We’ve heard from some of our clients, who are happy with them.
- GoodRx said Wednesday its dispute last year with Kroger continues to affect its bottom line.The company reported a first-quarter net loss of $3.3 million, or 1 cent per share, compared with net income of $12.3 million, or 3 cents per share, a year ago. Quarterly revenue totaled $184 million, down 10%. The company’s biggest revenue driver, its prescription transaction business, saw a 13% decline, to $155.5 million this year from $134.9 million in 2022.GoodRx blamed the decline in the prescription transaction business on its contract dispute last year with Kroger, the national grocery chain that temporarily stopped accepting Good Rx’s discounts at the point of sale in May 2022. The company also blamed the Kroger issue for a 5% decrease in monthly active customers from 6.4 million in 2022 to 6.1 million this year. Modern Health Care *

#Co-Pay Accumulator Programs
When Copay Assistance Backfires on Patients
If a patient has an insurance plan with an accumulator program, all copays funded by the manufacturer copay savings program will not count towards their deductible and annual maximum out-of-pocket costs. When this patient goes to refill their prescription without the copay savings program, they will be responsible for the full cash price of the drug until they reach their deductible and out-of-pocket annual maximum.
In the absence of accumulator programs, when a patient uses a copay savings program, the portion paid by the manufacturer would contribute to the patient’s deductible. However, copay accumulator programs are designed to keep manufacturer contributions from counting towards a patient’s deductible and annual maximum out-of-pocket costs.
- CMS allows all Insurance Plans to do this. Good Rx.com * Actuary Magazine.org * Policy Med.com * ThomsonReuters *
- Los Angeles Times explanation April 2018
-
Court Ruling in favor of Rx companies: The dispute centers on programs in which drug companies help patients cover their share of the prescription drug costs that they otherwise could not afford.
In recent years, some insurers have established so-called accumulator adjustment programs, in which they do not count assistance toward patients’ deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. Such programs effectively capture some of the assistance for insurers instead of patients. Read More Reuters.com
Response from Anthem Blue Cross CA…
Blue Shield of CA
This confirms member’s who use manufacturer coupons for prescriptions, will be credited the amounts paid towards their deductible/out-of-pocket.
Oscar
At this time, the only amount that will contribute towards the members deductible and/or out of pocket maximums will be the amount that the member pays.

Low Income Subsidy – Extra Help
The Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program/extra helps pay for a portion of Part D prescription drug plan costs, including Part D premiums, deductibles and copayments.
Depending on your income and assets, you may qualify for the full subsidy or a partial subsidy. All beneficiaries who qualify for the LIS program are permitted to change Part D plans once a month at anytime during the year. CA Health Care Advocates The full Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program covers the premium and deductible of benchmark plans, that meet the minimum standards. This means you do not pay a premium or deductible if you receive the full LIS benefit and enroll in a benchmark plan. You are, however, still responsible for copayments of $3.70 to $9.20 for each covered prescription. CA Health Care Advocates
SSA.Gov LIS/Extra Help
What help can I receive?
The Social Security Extra Help is estimated to be worth about $5,000 per year. To qualify for the Extra Help, a person must be receiving Medicare, have limited resources and income (scroll down to view) and reside in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia.
Medicare beneficiaries can qualify for Extra Help with their Medicare prescription drug plan costs. The Extra Help is estimated to be worth about $4,000 per year. To qualify for the Extra Help, a person must be receiving Medicare, have limited resources and income, and reside in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia.
I feel that the brochure on Medicare Rx Coverage, their extra help section really explains it IMHO the best, simplest and easiest way to understand.
