Prescription savings & convenience

Save an average of 15% off brand name drugs and 40% off generic drugs at more than 53,000 pharmacies nationwide including Rite Aid, Safeway and many more.* Or get even greater savings when you choose to have convenient, money-saving mail-order prescriptions delivered right to your door. (*Discounts available at participating pharmacies only.)

Union Plus Health Savings is a discount program, not insurance. Health Savings can sometimes help reduce out-of-pocket costs under some prescription programs, but it is not a replacement for a prescription drug insurance program. If you have questions about the new Medicare Part D prescription drug insurance program, you should contact www.medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).


Vision care discounts

Save 15% to 45% off the retail price of eyewear. Union members can enjoy substantial savings on exams, frames, glasses and contact lenses at more than 40,000 providers nationwide including access to independent optometrists, opthalmologists, opticians and leading optical retailers. Significant savings are also available on costly vision-care items such as progressive lenses or contact lenses, as well as upgrades such as UV and scratch resistant coatings.



Foot & ankle care

With the Union Plus Health Savings program you can save 20% to 50% off the normal charges for foot and ankle care services and procedures performed by 3,500 podiatrists nationwide. Typical services available include treatment for heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, diabetes, arch pain, arthritis and other foot and ankle problems.



Hearing care services
Save 30% on hearing evaluations and exams. Save 5% to 60% on all hearing aids at any HearPO provider at more than 1,600 locations nationwide. Typical services include hearing tests and hearing aids.


Medical and diabetic supplies
By special arrangement with an established mail-order program, union members receive discounts of 20% to 40% off retail prices on disposable medical supplies, including disposable diabetic supplies such as needles, syringes, test strips and more. Members also receive discounts of 20% to 30% on durable medical supplies, including durable diabetic supplies and other durable medical equipment. Orders can be made via phone or mail and are conveniently delivered to your door.
