    No. You can use one card for your entire family; each family member must have a unique ID number. This may be accomplished by adding a 01, 02, etc. for dependents at the end of the original ID number located on the card.
12. Are some medications covered under the card that other prescription plans do not cover?
    If a health insurance plan does not cover a certain prescription medication, the card may provide a discount. We see this more frequently with people covered under Medicare. The card can also be used to fill pet prescriptions as long as the prescription can be filled at a pharmacy.
13. What if the cardholder is a Medicare Part D participant?
    Medicare Part D participants are usually 65 years old or older. There is a gap in participant coverage that is called the “donut hole” where Medicare participants must pay out-of-pocket up to a certain amount. The discount prescription card provides an option to help participants in the “donut hole” get relief from high prescription drug prices. The Chicago Rx card has a larger formulary than Medicare, so the card may cover drugs Medicare does not.
14. Can I use my health insurance card at the same time as the discount prescription card?
    No. Two cards may not be used at the same time – so unfortunately, you can’t combine both insurance savings and card savings. However, if a prescription drug is not covered by your insurance, use the discount prescription card to receive your discount. Note: If your prescription is covered by insurance, compare the price with insurance applied to the price with the card discount – and choose whichever price is cheaper!
15. Is the discount card considered insurance?
    No. The card is not insurance and it is not intended to replace insurance
