"Cutting Prescription Drug Costs: The Power of Pharmacy Discount Cards and Online Programs"

A new study has found that pharmacy discount cards can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for prescription medications, potentially saving patients millions of dollars. The study examined two discount card programs, Amazon Prime and GoodRx Gold, and analyzed the savings on 20 commonly prescribed generic drugs. The findings showed that using these discount cards could result in savings of up to 85% on out-of-pocket costs, with estimated total savings of $969 million and $1.83 billion, respectively. The study highlights the potential benefits of pharmacy discount cards for individuals without insurance or those with high-deductible healthcare plans.
