United Way

United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley has announced Lehigh Valley residents have saved more than $5 million on prescription medications, thanks to a partnership with FamilyWize, an organization focused on improving the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities.

Through this partnership, United Way has promoted the free, easy to use FamilyWize prescription savings card, which has helped more than 8.4 million Americans save more than $873 million on their prescriptions around the globe.

FamilyWize cards immediately lower the cost of medicine by an average of 42 percent and potentially more for people without insurance or who take medications not covered by their plan.

Just by presenting the FamilyWize card at their local pharmacy, customers save on the cost of their prescription medicine, with no hidden fees or services.

Users can also compare drug prices with their FamilyWize card and their insurance card, and use which ever one is lower.

The FamilyWize prescription savings card can be used by anyone, including people with Medicaid or Medicare, and not just people without insurance.

The use of the FamilyWize prescription savings card is unlimited, does not require any personal information from the user and has no eligibility criteria.

To take advantage of the savings that FamilyWize offers and download your free card, go to United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s website, or call 1-866-810-3784 and request a card to be sent, or download the free FamilyWize app on your mobile device.
