Lipitor is a brand-name medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. According to the Lipitor website, patients can save on their prescription by using a Lipitor savings card, which can be used with or without insurance [2]. However, it is unclear whether the savings card can be combined with insurance coverage.
The website Drug Patent Watch provides information on the expiration of drug patents, but it does not provide information on the combination of rebates and insurance coverage for Lipitor [1].
According to a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, large employer plans often negotiate discounts and rebates with drug manufacturers, which can help lower the cost of prescription drugs for their members [3]. However, the report does not specifically address whether these rebates can be combined with savings cards.
In conclusion, while the Lipitor savings card can be used with or without insurance coverage, it is unclear whether it can be combined with insurance coverage. More information may be available by contacting the Lipitor savings program directly. It is worth noting that large employer plans may negotiate discounts and rebates with drug manufacturers, which can help lower the cost of prescription drugs for their members [3].
