Introducing MilitaryRx: Another way for Veterans and military families to save on prescriptions
Sharing non-VA information does not constitute an endorsement of products or services by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans should always verify information with the organization offering the program.
Prescription costs can add up quickly, especially for military families managing ongoing medications, prescriptions that are not covered or unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. MilitaryRx is a free prescription savings resource designed to help the U.S. military community compare medication prices and find additional savings at participating pharmacies.
MilitaryRx is a partnership between Military Connect and ScriptSave, powered by WellRx. It gives members of the U.S. military community another way to shop for lower prescription prices. There is no cost to join, and no credit card is required to access the savings program.
Check your VA benefits first
We believe Veterans and their families should always pay the lowest available price for their prescriptions. If you can obtain medication through the Department of Veterans Affairs at no cost or a lower cost, use your VA pharmacy benefit first. You earned those benefits, and MilitaryRx encourages you to take full advantage of them.
MilitaryRx is not a replacement for VA healthcare, VA prescription benefits, TRICARE or other insurance. It is an additional option to consider when a prescription is not covered, when you are paying out of pocket, when a family member needs medication or when you want to compare available prices.
TRICARE beneficiaries: If you or your family members are covered by TRICARE, check your TRICARE pharmacy copayment first and compare it with the MilitaryRx price before filling your prescription.
Compare the price. Choose what works for your family.
What MilitaryRx offers
Prescription price comparison: Search for a medication and compare available discount prices at participating pharmacies. Prices may vary by location, dosage, quantity and pharmacy.
A free prescription savings card: Access a digital savings card to present at participating pharmacies when filling an eligible prescription.
Savings for military families: Spouses, children and other military family members can use MilitaryRx, including when they do not have access to VA pharmacy benefits.
An option for coverage gaps: Compare cash and discount prices for prescriptions that are not covered or when the amount you would otherwise pay is high.
Savings vary by medication and pharmacy. Discount pricing is not insurance, and the savings card generally cannot be combined with insurance for the same prescription transaction.
Who can participate
MilitaryRx is free to join for all members of the U.S. armed forces, all Veterans and all military family members, including spouses and children.
When MilitaryRx may be helpful
A Veteran has a prescription that is unavailable or not covered through their usual benefit.
A spouse or child needs a prescription and wants to compare available pharmacy prices.
A family is paying out of pocket or wants to compare the cost of a medication before filling it.
A member wants to check whether a participating pharmacy offers a lower discount price for a specific prescription.
How to get started
Visit MilitaryRx.com to access the MilitaryRx prescription savings program.
If you are a Veteran, first review your VA pharmacy eligibility and benefits, and use VA when it offers your medication at no cost or a lower cost.
Search for your prescription by medication, dosage, quantity and location to compare available prices.
Choose a participating pharmacy and access your MilitaryRx savings card.
Show the card to the pharmacist before paying and confirm the final price. Compare it with any available insurance or other benefit price to decide which option works best.
VA pharmacy benefits: Start with the benefits you earned
Veterans who receive care through VA may have access to prescription medication through VA pharmacy services, subject to their eligibility, coverage and applicable copayments. Before using a discount card, check with VA or your VA care team about your options. MilitaryRx encourages Veterans to check VA benefits first.

MilitaryRx supplements existing benefits; it does not replace them. A discount card does not establish VA eligibility or change VA prescription coverage.
