You may also be able to use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to purchase your medications. Please check the terms of your HSA or FSA to confirm eligibility.
Yes. Similar to insurance, quite often some medications are not covered by Medicare or are simply too expensive. CompareMedsRx is separate from any federal or state-funded prescription assistance programs. This means that if you’re already benefiting from a government-funded program that provides assistance with prescription costs, you are still able to use CompareMedsRx outside of those benefits. However, we suggest you compare prices from all available options before making a purchase. It’s still a good idea to explore and compare prices from different sources. This way, you can make an informed decision and ensure that you’re getting the best possible deal on your prescription medications, considering all the options available to you.

It is possible a pharmacist is unaware of the program or is having an issue with the BIN and group number. In this case, please call the Support Phone number for that particular discount drug card.
Occasionally, discrepancies arise between the price indicated by a user’s discount card, including the BIN and PCN, and the pharmacy’s listed price. This variance may be attributed to factors such as multiple manufacturers producing a given prescription medication or variations in how pharmacies handle quantity in their systems. Most pharmacies typically determine medication prices based on “quantity,” while others may calculate costs based on “days supply” rather than the sheer quantity of pills. Pharmacists are equipped to clarify and confirm the specific pricing approach employed by their respective pharmacies. To mitigate potential discrepancies and ensure minimal impact on our esteemed users, we regularly update our records. This proactive measure aims to maintain accuracy and transparency in our service, addressing any fluctuations that may occur in the pricing of prescription medications.
