Once again we thank you for your involvement. The continued success of the plan depends on your efforts. Please share the Sun Patient Card program with coworkers, employers, friends and family and with healthcare professionals and physicians with whom you come in contact.
Individual savings depend on the price charged by the particular pharmacy where the drug is purchased. Occasionally, the pharmacy price will be the same or lower than the discounted price. If that happens, the patient will always pay the lower price.
The Sun Patient Card is a free benefit of the SunAssociation, a physician designed association helping patients and their doctors. Membership in the association is free for the first year, a free trial period for the Sun Patient Prescription Discount program. Then a yearly membership fee of $20 per family will apply.
