The care membership
Ask which visits and services are included, which have limits, and which require separate payment.
Prescription savings
Know the cost.
Know your options.
Medication costs deserve a straight conversation. Start with the exact prescription, the pharmacy, and the price you would actually pay.

Understanding Prescription savings
A useful benefit starts with the details.
Northguard is exploring a prescription savings option alongside membership. Before relying on any discount, check whether your specific medication and pharmacy qualify. A quoted saving is only useful when you understand the actual out-of-pocket cost and the terms behind it.
Common questions & concerns
Three things to keep separate.
A membership fee, a pharmacy price, and an optional treatment program are different costs. Confirm each before making a decision.
The prescription price
Ask about the exact medication, strength, quantity, and participating pharmacy—not just a headline discount.
Optional programs
Weight management, hormone care, and other programs may have their own evaluation, lab, medication, and follow-up costs.
Know your options
Before you count
on a saving.
Use these questions when a pharmacy or program can give you an actual quote.
Check the exact prescription
“Does this price apply to my medication, strength, form, and quantity? Is a clinically appropriate generic option available?”
Check the pharmacy
“Does this location participate? Is the prescription available, and what would I pay at pickup or for delivery?”
Compare the full price
“How does this compare with my existing coverage or usual price? Are there program fees or restrictions I need to understand?”
What to expect
From a question
to a clear quote.
- 1
Get the prescription details
Use the information from your treating clinician or pharmacy. Do not change a medication to match a promotion on your own.
- 2
Ask for the actual price
Confirm eligibility and the final amount with the pharmacy or program. Ask what could change at the next refill.
- 3
Keep the care plan connected
Know who handles refill requests, monitoring, and medication questions. A discount program does not make those clinical decisions.
Medication details
Bring the name, strength, form, quantity, and any prescription reference.
Your existing coverage
Have current insurance or other benefit information available for comparison.
The total charge
Ask about program fees, pickup or delivery costs, and the amount due.
The refill process
Confirm whom to contact and what to do before the medication runs out.
Clear before you commit
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Are medications included in the proposed $49 membership?
That has not been confirmed. The proposed monthly price should not be read as including medication, a particular discount, or access to an optional treatment program.
Is a prescription discount health insurance?
No. A discount arrangement is not health insurance and does not replace medical, hospital, or emergency coverage. Check how a specific program works alongside benefits you already have.
Can I combine a discount with my insurance or VA benefits?
Do not assume discounts can be combined. Ask the pharmacy and your benefits provider which payment option applies and whether using it affects your coverage or out-of-pocket accounting.
Does joining guarantee a prescription?
No. Prescribing and refills require an appropriate clinical decision. A savings benefit, if offered, would affect eligible costs rather than determine which treatment is right for you.
What if I cannot afford a prescribed medicine?
Tell your prescriber or pharmacist before changing or stopping it. Ask about a suitable generic or another lower-cost option, and whether you qualify for a patient assistance program.
Can I look up a Northguard pharmacy price now?
Not yet. The medication list, participating pharmacies, program terms, and live price lookup have not been connected. We will need to confirm those details before presenting a savings benefit as available.
