Circuit Breaker Pharmaceutical Assistance (continued from Page 8)
If your application is approved, you receive a Circuit Breaker Pharmaceutical Assistance card.
Cards cost…
$5 if your income is below the federal poverty level; or
$25 if your income is at or above the federal poverty level.
With that card, you can obtain prescription medication for covered diseases with…
No co-payment if you have the $5 card; or
A $3 co-payment if you have the $25 card.
(Note: For brand name drugs when a generic is available, you will also be required to pay the
difference in price.)
After Circuit Breaker Pharmaceutical Assistance pays $2,000 per person in benefits,
you must pay your co-payment plus 20 percent of cost for each prescription for the
remainder of the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).
You will automatically be enrolled in the Illinois Rx Buying Club for no additional fee. The
Circuit Breaker Pharmaceutical Assistance card will work for both programs.
