Money Saving Idea - Health


Buy online, safely. Often you can reduce costs by ordering prescription online to be mailed to you. Your health insurance company might have a preferred mail-order pharmacy; call the number on your card to find out. Or go to vipps.info for a list of 17 pharmacies that have been approved for safety and privacy by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Mail-order pharmacies should be used only for medications you take regularly, not for drugs you need to treat a sudden illnes.

Safety Tip: If you buy from a web site, make sure it displays the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites seal. Unverified sites might sell you counterfeit drugs that could endanger your health.
