13 Sam’s Club Pharmacy Benefits That Can Save You $1000s

Sam's Club is known for its bulk buys and deep discounts, but did you know that your membership provides significant, often overlooked savings? The Sam's Club pharmacy offers a robust suite of perks designed to keep you healthy while letting you keep more money in your wallet. These benefits can add up to thousands of dollars in annual savings.

Ready to turn your membership into a health care savings powerhouse? Here's how.

Sam's Club Plus members get a free 30-day supply of 10 of the most common generic prescriptions. Some of the regular prices are $17.63 for Amlodipine and $28.32 for Sertraline, allowing members to save hundreds each year. Free medications include:

• Amlodipine
• Donepezil
• Escitalopram
• Finasteride
• Lisinopril
• Metformin
• Montelukast
• Pioglitazone
• Sertraline
• Vitamin D2

It's important to note that the free drug benefit isn't available in Arizona, California, and Minnesota. In these states, members pay $2 for each prescription.

Even if your generic prescription isn't on the free list, Sam's Club offers many others at highly discounted prices. You'll find more than 600 medications starting at just $4 for a 30-day supply. The savings may be significant when compared to other pharmacies.

If you need a name-brand medication that doesn't have a generic alternative or you simply can't tolerate the generic, your Plus Club membership can still save you money. Members receive exclusive savings on popular brand-name medications. You pay less than what you would at regular pharmacies.

Learn how to enroll in pharmacy text messaging by speaking with your pharmacist in person or by phone. You can also sign up on the website to receive special messages about upcoming events and special offers. With text messaging, you'll receive important updates on your medications, including refill alerts.

When you're extra busy or simply unable to pick up your prescription, you can take advantage of Sam's Club delivery. If you enroll in pharmacy texting, you'll receive notifications when prescriptions are ready. From there, you can select the delivery option, which saves on gas money and time.

You don't have to go to a veterinary pharmacy to pick up your pet's medications when you have a Sam's Club Plus membership. Your furry friend is covered, too. Order popular treatments for fleas, ticks, and heartworms at a fraction of the cost. Simply bring in your pet's prescription or ask the pharmacist to contact your vet.

Sam's Club pharmacy benefits aren't just for the cardholder. You can add up to 16 additional cardholders to your Plus membership at $45 per person. Your spouse and dependents can take advantage of the pharmacy savings and all the membership benefits.

If you're worried about your hearing, Sam's offers free hearing exams for Sam's Club members. It's the perfect way to receive a no-cost, no-obligation professional screening. Typically, evaluation by a hearing specialist requires an office visit and a referral from your primary care physician. But a screening at Sam's Club can save you time and potentially hundreds of dollars.

If Sam's hearing screenings detect a problem, you can purchase top-tier hearing aids at low prices with your Sam's Club Plus membership. Save thousands of dollars on popular brands and Bluetooth-enabled devices. Products have warranties and include follow-up care.

Vision care can be costly. At Sam's, Plus members can purchase one pair of glasses and receive one additional pair for 40% off. Sam's also offers free adjustments, accepts most insurance plans, and provides a 60-day return policy if you're not satisfied. You can also purchase non-prescription reading glasses in the pharmacy for as low as $21.98 a pair, allowing you to protect your vision without spending too much.

Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to your health. Sam's Club pharmacies offer free health screenings for members to save money while catching potential issues early. These screenings cover the basic tests for blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, BMI, and others. An annual physical typically costs between $50 and $300 without insurance.

Stay up to date on your vaccinations without the expense of a doctor's appointment. Sam's Club pharmacy administers essential vaccines, including influenza (flu), shingles, and pneumonia. 

No appointment is necessary with walk-in availability, so you can get your shopping and vaccines taken care of in one trip. If you're unsure about the vaccinations you need, the pharmacist can provide age-based recommendations.

Sam's Club makes it easy to use your health savings and flexible spending accounts to save money on thousands of pharmacy products, including first-aid supplies and medical equipment. Sam's Club Plus members also receive discounts on some prescription and over-the-counter medications, allowing you to enjoy deeper discounts.

There are close to 62,000 Sam's Club pharmacy locations around the country that can help you save thousands of dollars each year in prescription and health care costs, and you can even look up your medication costs before you decide to join.

In addition to pharmacy benefits, Plus members earn 2% back on qualifying in-club purchases, making it even easier to save money shopping.
