Prescription Savings - Knowledge is Power

Like this bird searching for food, success depends upon knowledge.  How would you feel if you could compare shop any prescription cost from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere you obtain internet access, on one site to save money?    


Well you can on:  trumprx.gov   I was impressed with how easy the site works.  It doesn't sell the drugs, it merely gives information for comparison shopping.  I entered my prescriptions and the results provided were astounding.  Whether you use a preferred pharmacy or your favorite grocery store, the cost results for pickup availability are right there to compare.  You choose thereafter where to have your prescription filled, i.e. at a pharmacy– for example Walgreens or CVS, your grocery store, or at Walmart, based on the price comparisons.


For further options, mail order pharmacy prices for Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's site) or Amazon Prime are also displayed.  When available through Amazon Prime, the cost is usually the lowest for all options, followed by Cost Plus Drugs.  When Cost Plus Drugs is the only option, it is still lower than the local pharmacies or grocery stores where you have to pickup the item.  The price quoted for Cost Plus Drugs includes shipping.  With Amazon Prime, the shipping is free.  You merely have to plan ahead for a day's delay or so if you have the time to wait for a mail order option. 

 

The site says the quoted price may be even less depending upon your health insurance plan's coverage of the drug.  I also compared zip code prices between Florida and Washington states, and the cost was the same regardless of which state's zip code I entered.

So, don't get hung up on your political views affiliated with one side of the aisle or the other.  Go to the site and see what you can save.  You'll be happy for the information.  I was...
