Prescription prices can vary a lot from pharmacy to pharmacy. A few simple checks can help you pay less.
Compare pharmacy prices
Prices for the same medication can differ between pharmacies. Free discount cards like SingleCare let you check prices before you fill.
Ask about generics
Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether a generic or lower-cost alternative is right for you.
Check 90-day supplies and mail order
Longer supplies can sometimes cost less per dose. Compare with your plan's pricing.
Look into assistance programs
Manufacturer and nonprofit programs may help if you qualify.
