US consumers may find lower prescription prices by comparing discount apps, cash prices, insurance copays, pharmacies, and assistance options before each refill.
Insurance is not always the cheapest route; asking the pharmacy to compare insurance, cash, and discount-card prices can reveal savings before payment.
Prices can differ widely for the same medication, even between pharmacies; one example shows $10 at one location versus $50 at another nearby pharmacy.
If a brand-name drug is prescribed, patients can ask about generic alternatives, which use the same active ingredients and often cost less.
Stacking generics, price comparisons, and assistance programs can often cut prescription costs by hundreds of dollars per yr for patients managing ongoing medication expenses.
