Consider Delivery Pharmacies

Pharmacies that do not have brick-and-mortar locations may have lower cost medications. Some pharmacies include: 

The Cost Plus Drug Company, Capsule Pharmacy, and Amazon Pharmacy.

Compare Pharmacies
  • All pharmacies do not charge the same price for a medication. Call different pharmacies in your area or use GoodRx or Blink Health to compare prices.
  • There are many delivery-based pharmacies, such as the Marc Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company and Capsule that are able to negotiate with drug companies to get much lower medication costs.
Ask Your Doctor for Coupons
  • If you’re receiving your medication for the first time, your doctor might have coupons, or can help you apply to the medication supplier to help you receive a discount (if you meet income requirements). You can also receive coupons through some of the discount services above.
Sign Up for Insurance
  • Private insurance, and public aid programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, can greatly offset the cost of paying for medication.
