Q: What is a LowerMyRx prescription discount card?
A: The LowerMyRx card is a free tool that gives you access to pre-negotiated lower prices on FDA-approved prescription medications. It’s designed to help you save money at thousands of pharmacies across the country. Think of it as a coupon for prescriptions that you can use over and over again.
Q: Is the LowerMyRx card a form of health insurance?
A: No, this is very important. The LowerMyRx card is not insurance. It is a savings program that provides discounts on the retail (or “cash”) price of a medication. It has no impact on your insurance deductibles and cannot be combined with an insurance copay on a single transaction.
Q: How much does it cost to use LowerMyRx?
A: The LowerMyRx program is completely free to use. There are no sign-up fees, no monthly premiums, and no hidden costs. You simply present the card at the pharmacy to receive a discount.
Q: Who is eligible to use the LowerMyRx card?
A: Everyone is eligible. There are no age, income, health, or residency restrictions. Whether you have good insurance, a high-deductible plan, are underinsured, or have no insurance at all, you can use the card to see if you can save.
Q: Do I need to register or provide personal information to get a card?
A: No. You do not need to register or provide any personal identifying information like your name, email, or address to get and use a LowerMyRx card. We prioritize your privacy, and our business model does not involve selling user data.
Q: How exactly do I use the card to save money?
A: It’s a simple three-step process:
Q: Can I use the LowerMyRx card if I already have insurance?
A: Yes, you absolutely can. While you cannot combine the card and your insurance on the same purchase, you can use it instead of your insurance. We always recommend asking the pharmacist to process the prescription using both your insurance and the LowerMyRx card, then you can choose whichever option gives you the lowest price. This is especially helpful if your medication isn’t covered by your insurance or if you have a high copay or deductible.
Q: How much money will I actually save?
A: Savings vary widely depending on the specific medication and the pharmacy. While discounts can be up to 80%, a more typical savings range is between 20% and 60% off the retail price. The best way to know your savings is to use our price search tool.
Q: Why did the discount price change from my last refill?
A: Prescription drug prices are dynamic and can change. Our team is constantly negotiating with pharmacies to secure the best possible prices. This means that while prices are often stable, they can fluctuate up or down. We always recommend checking the price on our website or app before every refill to ensure you get the most current price.
Q: At which pharmacies is the LowerMyRx card accepted?
A: The card is accepted at over 35,000 pharmacies nationwide. This includes all major national chains like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Rite Aid, and Costco, as well as thousands of local, independent pharmacies.
Q: What should I do if my pharmacist is unfamiliar with the card?
A: Most pharmacists process discount cards every day and will recognize it. If they have any trouble, they can call the dedicated “Pharmacist Help” phone number printed directly on the card for immediate assistance with processing the discount.
Q: Does LowerMyRx cover both brand-name and generic drugs?
A: Yes. We offer discounts on thousands of the most commonly filled brand-name and generic medications. Generally, you will see the largest savings on generic drugs.
Q: Can I use the card to save on prescriptions for my pets?
A: Yes, if the medication is also prescribed for humans. Many pet medications, such as certain antibiotics, anti-anxiety drugs, and pain relievers, are the same as human medications. Just ask your veterinarian for a written prescription that you can take to a regular pharmacy instead of purchasing it at the vet’s office.
