Welcome to Michigan's
Prescription Drug Discount Card

The MiRx (My Prescription) Card is a new prescription drug discount program for Michigan residents who do not have any prescription drug coverage.

The MiRx Card program is free. There is no cost for the card. There is no cost to enroll in the program. And, the MiRx card is easy to use. MiRx card holders will take their prescription and their MiRx card to their local participating pharmacy. The pharmacist will fill the prescription and charge the MiRx discounted price. The discount is good on any medicine the pharmacist stocks and your doctor prescribes. Over-the-counter drugs are not covered even if they are prescribed by your doctor.

When you present your MiRx card at participating pharmacies you can expect to save about 20 percent off the retail price of common prescription drugs. Savings will typically be between 5 and 25 percent. Savings depend on the kinds of medicines used, and if they are generic or brand-name drugs.

Participating pharmacies will be listed on the Department of Community Health web site (www.michigan.gov/mdch).

To be eligible to participate in the MiRx Card program, each family member, or member of a household, must be enrolled in the program. There is no age limit to participate in the MiRx Card program. Make sure all eligible members of a family or household are included on the enrollment form. Each eligible applicant will receive their own MiRx card once your application is completed and processed within two weeks, along with a list of participating pharmacies in their area.
