Save Money with Generics, On the Mark

save money with generics

Trustmark encourages you to take advantage of Generics, on the ‘Mark’ – a unique program that helps members save money on prescriptions. Trustmark will waive your initial out-of-pocket cost when you fill your first prescription with one of the Generics, on the ‘Mark’ drugs listed below.

Additionally, you can better control your out-of-pocket prescription drug costs by selecting highly respected and widely used generic drugs as appropriate substitutes for brand-name drugs, when medically appropriate, as determined by you and your provider.

Rigorous analysis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has shown that generic drugs are equal to their brand-name counterparts in strength, quality and performance. Generic drugs provide an effective and less-expensive alternative for most people.

To use Generics, on the ‘Mark’:

  • Talk to your provider or pharmacist about which generic drug(s) from the list may be medically appropriate for you.
  • Fill your prescription, when you provider considers it medically appropriate to prescribe one of these generic drugs, and take advantage of an effective and generally lower-cost alternative to brand name.
  • Present your ID card and your first prescription for one of the Generics,on the ‘Mark’ drugs at a network pharmacy, and the out-of-the pocket cost waiver will apply automatically to your first prescription. Best of all, since your cost for generic drugs is generally lower than for brand-name drugs under your healthcare plan, you save even more money.
