10. FAQs (cont.) • Can I use my prescription discount card with my current insurance benefit to reduce my costs? • Your card cannot be used in conjunction with another insurance benefit.

These discounts are available only at participating retail pharmacies or through the Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy.
