A healthcare survey1<\/sup> found that nearly 30% of adults in the United States aren\u2019t taking their medications as prescribed because they can\u2019t afford them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/u>Real-World Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One RxSS member skipped his diabetes medication for 38 days because he couldn\u2019t afford it. Then he opened one of the emails he had received from RxSS letting him know there was another prescription option that cost 60% less. He made the switch, resumed his treatment, and avoided even more costly healthcare issues\u2014like a trip to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re having problems affording medications, RxSS may be able to help you find options that fit your budget and keep your treatment on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
