American Diabetes Association teams up with Together Rx Access

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The American Diabetes Association is working with an organization that offers free prescription drug savings cards to help increase access to diabetes medications.

The ADA and Together Rx Access said Wednesday that the cards can help millions of eligible uninsured patients receive savings of 25% to 40% on branded drugs, as well as savings on generics. Nearly 26 million people in the United States are living with diabetes, mostly Type 2 diabetes, many of whom lack health insurance.

“We are pleased to work with the American Diabetes Association to help in its mission to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes,” Together Rx Access executive director Roba Whiteley said. “The Together Rx Access Card provides a much-needed resource for these people so they can better afford the medicines they need to manage their disease and live healthier lives.”
