Consumer News: Why prescription discount apps can slash drug prices — and how you can take advantage

Save big with discount apps:Prescription discount apps like GoodRx, Cost Plus Drugs, and SingleCare can often beat your insurance price, saving consumers hundreds of dollars.
Shop around before every refill:Drug prices can vary dramatically between pharmacies, so experts recommend comparing prices before every refill.
Use a three-layer savings strategy:For maximum savings, choose a generic when available, compare discount apps and pharmacies, and check patient assistance programs.
If youve filled a prescription drug recently, youve probably been shocked by the price and wondered if there was a cheaper option, and what hoops you had to jump through to find it.
What many consumers dont realize is that the exact same medication can cost way less just by using a discount app like GoodRx or ordering through a service like Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs.
In some cases, the savings can be hundreds of dollars. That leaves many consumers wondering how these companies can sell the same prescription drug for so much less.
According to consumer advocate Clark Howard, the answer lies in the complicated world of prescription drug pricing, and the fact that consumers often don't realize they can shop around.
Why your insurance isn't always the cheapest option
Discount programs like GoodRx, Cost Plus Drugs, SingleCare, and others often negotiate pricing differently than traditional pharmacy and insurance companies.
A big reason involves companies known as pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs. PBMs act as middlemen between drug manufacturers, insurance companies, employers, and pharmacies. They negotiate pricing and rebates behind the scenes.
Critics argue that these arrangements often make drug pricing unnecessarily complicated and sometimes more expensive for consumers. Clark Howard has been particularly outspoken about the lack of transparency in the system. He argues that many consumers assume their insurance automatically provides the lowest price, when that's not always true.
In fact, consumers can often pay less by skipping insurance altogether and paying cash through a discount program. This is because services like GoodRx and SingleCare often give consumers access to pricing negotiated through pharmacy benefit managers and other prescription discount networks.
