Some medication available on Medicare requires prior authorization. This means Medicare will not cover the prescription until it has been approved. Purchasing these drugs through RxSpark sidesteps these restrictions, enabling you to get the drugs you need at a reasonable price.
​
Other prescriptions have quantity restrictions placed on them when purchased through Medicare. Patients may get discounts through their plan, but the cover will only allow them to buy a certain number each month. When purchasing using RxSpark vouchers, these limitations do not apply.
​
In order to get some drugs on Medicare, there are step therapy requirements. This means patients must try certain drugs first before Medicare will cover another drug. Using RxSpark, patients can get the drugs they want without having to try a series of potentially unsuccessful treatments.
​
It is always worth checking your Medicare plan to see whether there are restrictions on cover for the medication you need. In some cases, plans will make exceptions to restrictions.
