Medicine
Medicines are not covered unless they are related to a medical incident. Don't let this discourage you as there are some great 'tricks' to reduce your medicine bills. Take a look at the "Medicine Money Savings Tips' below.
Also we compared a lot of the discount cards out there (whether they were free or not) and CHM's discount card was actually one of the best!
Take a look at these 'Medicine Money Saving Tips' we used to reduce our medicine bill:
-
Use your CHM's discount card
-
Take advantage of the free Telemedicine option from CHM
-
Ask the doctor to prescribe a 90 day supply, you save money this way!

Ask the doctor to prescribe 'generic' medicine when available
