Worth taking a look at. I was just looking at site a few minutes ago based on a facebook post about the costs of epipens.

Here are the updated savings card offers for epinephrine auto-injectors, as well as other ideas to try to save money on drug costs this year. Your final co-pay, if any, may vary depending on your insurance plan and the deductibles for your family.

EpiPen 2-Pak® – Mylan Specialty said its My EpiPen Savings Card ™ will extend through Dec. 31, 2016. The card can be used to reduce out-of-pocket expenses up to a maximum of $100 per EpiPen 2-Pak® carton. The card remains valid for up to three two-pack cartons per prescription, and may be used as many times as needed. The card is available at epipen.com/copay.


Generic Epinephrine Auto-Injector – Lineage Therapeutics Inc.’s “$0 Co-Pay Savings Card” can reduce the amount of your out-of-pocket expense up to $100 per generic epinephrine auto-injector two-pack. Each savings card can be used for up to three two-packs per prescription. Visit https://webrebate.trialcard.co...n/EpinephrinePortal/ for details and savings card download. Note: Although this savings card does not expire, you must print out a new savings card for each prescription. Every time you access the webpage, the code on the savings card automatically changes. Each unique savings card is valid for just one use.
