Q: Can I get prescription drug insurance without medical insurance?
A: No this coverage is not available and even it it was available, it would not cover the cost of pre-existing prescriptions. The best alternative is a prescription discount plan that uses a flat dollar amount of coinsurance like $10 or $20 for most prescriptions. See details for The Competitor Rx-Pay Card online. This plan can be used immediately with the prescriptions you already use. This is a discount plan and not an insurance plan, but the value for the cost is likely better than an insurance policy. This plan can be combined with any major medical insurance or supplemental insurance policy like those listed at www.MedSave.com.
