Answer
Through your mutualista's pharmacy, discounts on medication can reach about 80%. Discounts of about 20–40% are also available for medicines on the preferential list at regular pharmacies.
The discount depends on whether the medicine is on the relevant list, where it is bought, and the healthcare network the person belongs to. The same pack can therefore cost differently when bought directly or through their mutualista's system.
For ongoing treatment, this can substantially affect the monthly budget. When choosing a medical plan, consider not only the membership fee and appointment costs but also pharmacy terms: the availability of needed medicines, discounts, copayments, and the ability to buy medication near home without long trips.
