This Prescription-Saving Service is Free of Charge | Get up to 80% Savings on Your Medications!
Never pay full price for your prescriptions again thanks to SingleCare.
Let’s talk prescriptions on a budget…
I’m sure we’ve had first-hand experience of how pricey prescriptions can be. Although medications are necessary, you still shouldn’t have to overpay. Thanks to SingleCare, you may never have to pay full price for another prescription again!
I want to emphasize that SingleCare is not health insurance. If you do have insurance, you will most likely get a better rate than without it. However, SingleCare can be less expensive than even an insurance co-pay, so it’s always worth checking. If you don’t have any access to health insurance currently, this prescription savings site is a must. Depending on the medication, you may never pay full price again!
So, what is SingleCare?
SingleCare is a prescription-saving service that’s free of charge! You can save up to 80% on your medications, which can mean prices that are even cheaper than through some health insurance. 😱 SingleCare is accepted at 35,000 pharmacies nationwide, too. CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid and Kroger are just a handful, so it’s likely your pharmacy accepts it!
Not only that, but it’s super simple to browse the rates of your medication. You just enter the name of your prescription and customize the dose and quantity. You’ll see the different prices of each pharmacy, and from there, you can download the free SingleCare coupon, which can be shown digitally or printed.
Upon arrival, show your coupon to the pharmacist who will enter the number from the coupon card. Your savings will then be applied, and you’ll enjoy your prescription at a discounted rate!
SingleCare vs. GoodRx
Here, I searched* for a medication called Lisinopril which can treat high blood pressure.
- CVS, no insurance, with GoodRx card: $12.96
- CVS, no insurance, with SingleCare card: $0, with SingleCare account sign up
*Note that this price comparison was made on April 11, 2022 and prices may fluctuate.
I mean…FREE?! This medication is affordable with GoodRx. But, with SingleCare, it was free without insurance, with the same dosage, and at the same pharmacy location! 🤯
Check out the breakdown among other pharmacies for Lisinopril:
I will say that I didn’t see huge savings for every medication on the market, but I have noticed that these prices fluctuate. One of the things I like about SingleCare is they actually mention which medications they have the best offers for on their home page. This seems to change frequently, but remains helpful as these promotions make your medication even more affordable!
They offer discounts on over 10,000 medications, so unless it’s urgent, see if you can wait a day or two to see if the price budges on your prescription. You might be shocked at the unexpected savings!
To browse their rates on the go, make sure you download the SingleCare app, available for both iOS and Android!
There’s more to SingleCare than the pharmacy savings card!
Aside from promotions, SingleCare also has a rewards system! When you first sign up and create an account, you’ll instantly get $5 off your next eligible prescription. From there, you’ll earn a $1 credit for every eligible prescription filled with your SingleCare card. This increases your savings even further!
SingleCare offers discounts and rewards for all your prescription needs, so why not give it a try? Let us know if you’re able to save big on your medication too!
If you belong to Costco, they have different pricing for members vs nonmembers. I buy my estrogen cream and progesterone from Costco. The cream is around $28 which is $10-$20 cheaper than other discount programs.
Thanks so much for the helpful tip! Good to know you’ve been able to save with Costco!
As far as I’m concerned, you do not have to be a Costco member to use their pharmacy. Same thing with Sam’s Club also. Of course, do call both warehouse clubs first to confirm this information, as well as calling for the price of the medication.
If you are referring to Premarin Cream, i have some additional info for you. The company has a patient assistance program. If you qualify the medication is Free. There is a form on the company website that you need to fill out and your doctor fills out their portion. You will also have to submit proof of income. I dont know what the income level is off hand….just an fyi…
I pay $36 for an annual kroger rx discount program. Its 72 for a family and it can include pets. Its cheaper than goodrx on about 90% of my meds. Lots of $3 monthly meds and $6 for 90 day supply. When goodrx is cheaper, I use them. I just started comparing singlecare also. If u take a med regularly, ask the dr to write 90 days. It’s cheaper and you dont make unnecessary pharmacy trips.
Thanks for letting us know how you’ve been able to save on prescriptions! We sure appreciate the helpful tips and feedback! 💞🙌
Check rxsaver…I use this and goodrx
Please be aware that usually what you pay with single care (and similar discount programs) will not count towards any deductibles or out of pocket limits with insurance. Depending on your insurance and health needs it may be better in the long run to use your insurance and pay the higher price
Thanks for mentioning that, Anna!
I think it is also worth mentioning that the reason you are getting these discounted prices for “free” is because these companies are collecting and selling your health information. Personally, I don’t mind companies knowing my name and address, they can probably find that other ways as well. But them having my health information? No, thanks! If you use a local hometown drug store and speak with the pharmacist they can usually get you a decent price and they are required to protect your personal health information, unlike these less (or not at all) regulated companies! Just an FYI for those that weren’t aware.
I find that GoodRx is usually lower than SingleCare, I’ve only found SingleCare to be cheaper a couple times, so I always compare. I’ve checked Costco many times and they are way high compared to GoodRx.
If you’re a Costco member they have a free discount program , make sure to quote for those prices. 5 of my 6 meds were significantly cheaper than goodrx and singlecare with their “Costco membership prescription plan” which is included in your membership
My Walmart pharmacy always runs Goodrx along with my insurnace. Whatever is cheapest is the way to go. I even have different scripts at different pharmacies depending on price.
Does anyone know how this works if I have Kaiser insurance and all of my meds are sent by the doctors directly to their pharmacy? I have 3 Rx that are not covered by insurance so going outside of Kaiser and using discount programs like this would save me $$$.
Yes…transfer the prescription to whichever pharmacy has the cheapest price that day (I personally have found GoodRx to be the cheapest not SingleCare- I think for one SingleCare was cheaper if I did a 30 day but not a 90 day)
How do I transfer the prescription from Kaiser? Do I need to contact my doctor?
If you have refills left on a prescription, call (or take the bottle to) your NEW pharmacy and ask if they can transfer and fill it for you.
If you’re out of refills, ask your doctor’s office if they can send the prescription to your new pharmacy or mail you a paper copy that you can give to your new pharmacy.
My CVS will run my insurance company first, GoodRx. Also, go on the website of any drug maker and look for financial assistance forms. Two of my prescriptions were paid for a year. Always check with the makers of the drug.
My insurance is CVS Caremark, many times my generic medication is cheaper with GoodRX.
CVS helped me with GoodRx because at first I didn’t know any of this. I have one medication that is $1200 a month and with GoodRx, I pay $39 for it.
Saving $ is awesome, but filling ALL your prescriptions at the SAME pharmacy or chain may be worth the extra $.
– Many meds interact, have side effects, shouldn’t be taken less than 3 hrs before/after other med, etc. and busy doctors may not catch everything. Your pharmacist can’t catch them either if they don’t know about prescriptions you filled elsewhere.
– You’ll only need to remember to update ONE pharmacy with allergy changes versus several.
– You’ll never lose track of which refills to order/pick up at which pharmacy.
– If you need pain meds short or long-term, or certain meds for anxiety, sleep, etc — using multiple pharmacies may raise flags for prescription abuse. None of us needs the extra hassle of trying to prove you were only trying to save a few bucks. (That’s why pain mgmt contracts often require ALL of your prescriptions be filled at the same pharmacy.)
My pharmacist has caught interactions, typos, missed refills, etc. She even had me run a new OBGYN med by my liver doc (he said no), and ask my doc if the symptom he’d sent a new RX in for might be a side effect of two other meds (it was).
Pharmacists can be immeasurably valuable partners in our health journeys. Spending a little more to ensure my pharmacist sees my whole prescription picture has more than once saved my life.
Amazon also has a pharmacy. I recently checked the price on a medicine and Amazon was 16.15 and Walmart was 138.00 and that was the copay! It might be worth checking out.
Thanks for the helpful reminder, Linda!
