Oklahoma Drug Card was launched to help the uninsured and underinsured residents of Oklahoma afford their prescription medications. However, the program can also be used by people who have health insurance coverage with no prescription benefits, which is common in many health savings accounts (HSA) and high deductible health plans. Additionally, people who have prescription coverage can use this program for non-formulary or non-covered drugs. This includes people enrolled in Medicare Part D.
Oklahoma Drug Card is accepted at over 50,000 pharmacies around the country including May's Drug Store, Med-X Drug Store, Drug Warehouse, CVS/pharmacy, Wal-mart, Target, Walgreens, and K-mart. Oklahoma residents can download a free card, search drug pricing, and locate participating pharmacies at www.OklahomaDrugCard.com.
