In a major expansion of its commitment to improving health care for low-income Americans, Pfizer said today that beginning March 1 its health information and resource center, Pfizer for Living, will provide a new series of customized health benefits for seven million Medicare-enrolled Americans including:
The Pfizer Share Card, which will enable them to buy a 30-day supply of any Pfizer prescription medicine they need for a flat fee of $15, compared to the $69.54 average U.S. retail price of a branded prescription as reported by the General Accounting Office;
A help line, with live operators, to request enrollment materials and learn about other health services and benefits that may be available to them; and
Easy-to-read health information on their medical conditions.
The Pfizer Share Card, which can be used at retail pharmacies, covers Pfizer medicines including therapies for many diseases that are chronic and often untreated among the elderly such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and depression. CVS, the nation's largest retail drugstore chain, and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the largest U.S. retailer, will join Pfizer in the rollout of the Pfizer Share Card.
