CleverRx for Savings


MDIS has introduced a new savings ben- efit for members, their teams and families: CleverRx. It is not insurance, but rather a savings program. One of the companies that MDIS works with suggested it, because while most people have insurance, and some prescriptions may be inexpensive, some may not. This provides another option to use to help bring down costs of medication—and it’s entirely free to use. A nice feature of their website and app is that you can do a prescription price lookup based on the drug name and zip code. “I take a monthly thyroid medication, and it saved me $6,” said Vicki Wilbers, MDA Executive Director. “I just have one medication to take, but still it’s a savings—and could be more significant for those with multiple scripts.”


• Go to cleverrx.com/mdis to get started (use the website or download the app).


• Free to use, no sign up or registration required. Save up to 80 percent off pre- scription drugs and beat copay prices. On the app/website you can look up a prescription price based on the drug name and your zip code.


• Present the CleverRx savings app or card to your pharmacist. (The PDF card, if you prefer to have a hard copy, can be printed from modental.org/savings.)


NEW GROUP DISABILITY BENEFIT


MDIS announced in August it is offering a simplified issue group disability policy avail- able only to MDA members. Available are 10- and 20-year term life options. Contact Lindsey at MDIS for information or quotes, or to receive answers to FAQs on Disability and Business Overhead Expense policies.


DVH PROVIDERS NEEDED


The MDIS Dental, Vision, Hearing Program still needs providers. Learn more at mdis4dds.com/dvh.
