If you have Amazon, Amazon Pharmacy is included as well as free 2-day delivery. One drug was $24 at Amazon versus $57 through my health care provider. It was also cheaper than GoodRX.

GoodRX is sometimes cheaper and, as you know if you've used GoodRX, the price varies from pharmacy to pharmacy. For example Rosuvastatin (for cholesterol), in Virginia runs from $7.15 at Safeway to $41.16 at CVS and Target with other pharmacies in between. I get that one through my health care provider for free.

There are similar free prescription services (i.e., coupon code) and sometimes that are also better than GoodRX and, again, is varies from pharmacy to pharmacy. Some of the alternatives are:
WellRX
RXsaver
Singlecare.com
Blink Health
OPTUM Perks

Search the internet for " Best Prescription Discount Cards" and you will find several places (like verywellhealth) that give their ratings of the services and the pros and cons of each.

Which prescription coupon service is best will vary for each prescription and then by pharmacy. I've used 2 or 3 different coupon services because of that.
