Present any coupons to the pharmacist BEFORE you fill your prescription.

This will save you time and avoid time consuming rebilling issues at the pharmacy.

Remind pharmacy staff that you are have a special discount or copay saving card with each qualifying refill.

Activate Loyalty Cards: Many pharmaceutical rebate offers or loyalty cards require users to ?activate? the offer by calling a toll free number. Read the coupon or savings card to determine if card activation is required and follow the instructions. Cards will not work at the pharmacy if you fail to activate the savings card

When you hand the pharmacist the coupon, he will scrutinize it to make sure it is not expired or has special conditions attached (such as if the coupon is only for a certain quantity or strength). He should be able to tell you right there and then if he can put the coupon through the computer.

If the drugstore refuses the coupons try another store. All of the large chains cheerfully accept drug coupons as long as you meet the terms and conditions of the coupon. They are happy to have your business.

Check your printer. Before you go printing up drug coupons and rebates from your computer, make sure that there is an adequate supply of ink and paper in your printer. Some of the coupons contain bar codes and they may not scan properly unless they are printed nice and clean.

Allow Pop-Ups. Many of the coupons appear on your screen in the form of pop-ups. If you have your pop-up blocker turned on you may not be able to see or print the coupons.

Print up more than one drug coupon or rebate form at a time. If the offer is for a drug that you use on a regular basis, print up several of them and keep them in a safe place such as inside of your medicine cabinet.

Do not photocopy unused drug coupons. Print up fresh ones directly from your computer while you are online. Oftentimes, each coupon or rebate form has a unique code number on it so it can only be used once. Each time you print a new one from your computer, the web site treats it as a new request and it assigns a new code number to your coupon.

Read rebate forms carefully and follow the instructions to the letter. If the rebate form is not filled out EXACTLY THE WAY THEY REQUEST, there is a good chance you will not get your money. .

If the rebate form asks you to circle information on the pharmacy receipt such as the name of the drug and the price you paid, make sure you do so. Another common mistake people make is that they send in the rebate forms past the offer's expiration date. .

Make sure you provide the insurance receipt as well as the cash register receipt when you are applying for a rebate. The insurance receipt is also called a pharmacy receipt. This receipt is usually stapled onto the little bag your prescription comes in.

This special receipt contains most of the information that is found on the prescription label itself (your name, the date, your doctor's name, the name and strength of the medicine, the pharmacy address, telephone number and most importantly the price you paid for the medicine).

Keep careful records. Pharmaceutical coupons and rebates are valuable. Some of them are worth hundreds of dollars. Treat the paperwork as though it was an important document such as a mortgage payment.

Pay attention to savings card expiration dates! Often you will be offered extended benefits simply by submitting a request prior to the expired date of initial offer.

A good rule of thumb is for you to photocopy everything you mail in to the company that is processing your rebate.

Use Internet Explorer. 90% of all internet users use Internet Explorer and the drug coupon website are designed to work perfectly with Internet Explorer. You might have trouble printing the coupons if you use other browsers such as Firefox, Chrome or Symphony.
