Paying for treatment

The cost of the drug is not the price on the label. What you actually pay depends on your insurance, the program you qualify for, and, for generics, which pharmacy you walk into. Start with your drug.

Which path is yours?

You have commercial insurance

Most branded drugs have a manufacturer copay card that can bring your cost down to very little, sometimes zero. These are run by the drug company itself. They are real, they are underused, and they are usually buried three clicks deep on the brand's site. Find your drug here and look under Paying for it.

You have Medicare or Medicaid

Manufacturer copay cards are not available to you. Federal law prohibits it. What you can use instead are patient assistance programs and independent charitable foundations, which are a different thing and are often missed. Look for Patient assistance on your drug's page.

You have no insurance

Patient assistance programs from the manufacturer can sometimes provide the drug free. For generics, a prescription discount card is usually the fastest path and can cut a cash price dramatically.

Your drug is a generic

There is probably no copay card, because nobody markets the drug anymore. A discount card is your best tool. Prices for the exact same pill vary wildly between pharmacies, so it is worth comparing.

These are discount cards, not insurance. We may earn a referral fee if you use one. That never affects which options we show or the order we show them in. Prices vary by pharmacy and change often.
