Prescription drugs are a necessity that more than than 131 million people — 66 percent of all adults in the United States — rely on, and more than 48.6% of people in the US have been prescribed at least one form of medication in the past 30 days. But these drugs don't come cheap.
💡 In fact, people age 65 to 79 pay $456 out-of-pocket for prescription drugs every year (more than 2.5x the average!) source: [https://hpi.georgetown.edu/rxdrugs/]
For the average American, and especially the elderly, these prices aren't affordable. Considering that so many people can't afford healthcare, it's not surprising that nearly 58 million American adults can't afford prescription drugs.
Because the majority of these prescription drugs are sold through third-party pharmacies and retailers like CVS or Costco, the prices aren't always set in stone! These sellers compete with each other for customers, which means that you can almost always find a better deal for your medication if you search for ongoing discounts. The savings can be significant (upwards of 80%) especially if you aren't currently covered by insurance.
Our Prescription Discounts product scans the web to find the best prices and deals for your prescriptions that you can use at your local pharmacy or retailer — and you don't need insurance.
Here's how it works:
All you have to do is:
Go to the Prescription Discounts product on DoNotPay.
Enter the name of your prescription drug and specify the specific brand if necessary.
Tell us more about the dosage and form you usually receive the medication in.
Enter your favorite pharmacy or retailer pick-up location.
Note: If your pharmacy is CVS, we can send the coupon directly to your local CVS so that it automatically gets applied to your total payment the next time you go to pick up the prescription!
