King County members rack up savings with generics

King County members rack up savings with genericsCongratulations– you’re choosing generic drugs more than ever. Smart move when you consider that replacing the high-priced brands with generic prescriptions significantly lowers your out-of-pocket expenses.

In 2008, employees and their families enrolled in the KingCareSM plan saved over $99,000 in out-of-pocket expenses compared to in 2007 – in large part by switching to generic drugs.

Want to keep saving? Use generic drugs whenever possible. For more info check out out Choose Generics page.
