Kroger Health revamps prescription program

Kroger Health, the healthcare division of The Kroger Co., has revamped its Kroger Health Savings Club (KHSC) membership program. The goal of the program is to provide savings on commonly prescribed medications and to make them more accessible for members and their families.

RxSense is behind the KHSC membership program, which includes individual and family options. It offers discount options that allow members to save up to 85% on thousands of prescription drugs, even if those medications are not covered in their insurance plans. 

Colleen Lindholz, president of Kroger Health, said the program aims to relieve the financial burden of costly medications and hopes to continue expanding these services for customers. 

Members can use their savings club membership at Kroger Family of Pharmacies locations, excluding those located in the state of Washington. 

Individual memberships are $36/year and family memberships are $72/year. Kroger Health and the Kroger Family of Pharmacies and clinics operate more than 2,200 pharmacies and 226 clinics in 35 states serving more than 17 million customers annually. 

KHSC is not an insurance plan and cannot be combined with federal, state, or employee-funded programs (i.e. Medicare, Medicaid, or health insurance), so individuals can use the new Kroger program or another discount program — but they cannot use both at the same time.
