Personalized insights

Your Asuris account has tools to help you research medications and even message a pharmacist with questions. To get started, sign in and go to the Medications tab under Your care.

Use a preferred pharmacy

You can save money by using a preferred pharmacy. To find one in your network, sign in to your Asuris account, select Pharmacy and then Find a pharmacy. Use the pharmacy search tool to filter by preferred pharmacies and compare cost estimates.

*Preferred pharmacies do not apply to Enhanced plans.

Find savings with longer-term medication supplies

If you have a PDP plan, ask your doctor to write your prescription for up to a 90-day supply, or up to a 100-day supply for MAPD plans, and make sure you get it filled at an in-network pharmacy. That means fewer trips to the pharmacy.

Pay less for generics

Paying more for your prescription medications doesn’t always mean you get more. Ask your doctor about generics, which typically cost less than brand-name drugs and work just as well. You can find lower-cost alternatives, and easily check their side effects and letter grades in your asuris.com account.

Get discounts on meds Medicare doesn’t cover

There are some medications that Medicare doesn’t cover. With our discount program, you can save up to 90% on multivitamins, over-the-counter pain medications and more at over 70,000 participating pharmacies. Show your pharmacy the information below so they can submit the claim for a possible discount.
