Pharmacy Discount Cards

You may have seen a commercial on television or read an ad in a magazine describing the benefits of using a pharmacy discount card. So, what is a pharmacy discount card? It is a discount card that can provide significant savings for prescription medication. These cards are also known as drug discount cards or Rx discount cards. They are provided by different companies that have agreements with many pharmacies around the country.

Examples of prescription discount cards include:

GoodRx
SingleCare
HelpRx
ScriptSave WellRx
RxSaver

These programs have websites that can help you save money every month by helping you find the lowest prescription prices at your local pharmacies. Many have a mobile app you can download to your phone as well. By using their price comparison tool on their mobile app or their website, you could save on many FDA-approved drugs - brand name and generic. Think of it as an Expedia for prescription drugs.

Please note that if you use a pharmacy discount card or coupon when filling a prescription, it will not be processed through your medical insurance, and consequently, it is not applied to your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
