All the drugs are from USFDA approved pharmacies. Generic medications are just as safe and effective as their brand-name equivalents. Due to USFDA regulations, generic medications are the same Ingredient as the original brand name drug, simply made by another company.
We all know that generic medications offer safe, high-quality medicine at a fraction of the cost of a brand-name drug. In fact, once a generic medication hits the market, prices tend to fall by 60-80%. The problem is that many other drugs we rely on today are not yet available generically in the U.S. The good news is that this is not the case in other countries! For example, the law in India allowed medications to enter the market nearly 20 years sooner than in the U.S. As a result, generic medications are available for virtually every brand-name drug.
India is the largest producer of generic medications in the world. India’s Pharmaceutical Industry is the 4th largest in the world. Many of the generic drugs on the shelves at your local US pharmacy come from drug companies in India – the same drug companies Members Wellness buys from. Every year, thousands of American citizens travel to India to receive world-class medical care. Plus, many of the brand-name drugs in the United States are manufactured with base ingredients supplied by India. India sells the exact same brand name drugs; they just have a different economy of scale so everything is far less expensive.
Members Wellness is compatible with all Medicare D plans or Advantage plans. Just compare your prescription price with our simple, easy to use look up pricing for home delivery and if Members Wellness is less expensive, order from us. You can use this if you opted out of Part D. You can create a plan to use Part D for every day, low-price medications to make sure you don’t reach your “Donut Hole”, and use this for more expensive meds. You can use this if you’ve already reached your “Donut Hole” and are paying out-of-pocket. You can use it if you have a new medication not on your Part D formulary.
Pre-covid, all orders were delivered in approximately 2 weeks from receipt of your prescriptions. We now ask that you ensure you have enough medications on hand to wait 3-4 weeks for your initial shipment. After that, timely ordering when sent a reminder will ensure that you don’t run out.
Benefits are available for all family members, your spouse or significant other, unmarried dependent children under age 18, residing at your home, and unmarried college students to age 26. Everyone can use the card and save.
You cannot order narcotic medications through International Mail Order. You can use your CHMRx card through the US Mail Order pharmacies and our walk-In network pharmacies for controlled substances.
