WPDP: Washington Prescription Drug Program is a new prescription drug discount program created by the legislature at the request of Governor Gregoire. Although it is not an insurance program, WPDP members can receive discount prices on drugs that are very similar to what the large health insurance companies must actually pay. On average you’ll save up to 60% on generic drugs and 20% on brand name drugs. It is open to all Washington State residents who do not have prescription drug insurance coverage, or whose insurance does not cover all their prescription drug needs. There are no other eligibility requirements or fees required for membership in the WPDP. Visit their website at https://www.hca.wa.gov/about-hca/prescription-drug-program
