Terms of Use    

For quick cost cutting on your prescription drugs, try this:

• Cut your bills in half by buying generic drugs instead of name brands.
   
• Buy your prescriptions via mail order through a drugstore chain or your company health plan.
   
• Slice your pills.  Sometimes you can save money by asking your doctor to prescribe a double dosage of a drug and then splitting the pills in half.
   
• Shop around.  Pharmacies sometimes charge very different prices for the same drugs.  Websites such as wellrx.com provide an easy way to compare prices of the same drug at different stores.
   
• Ask for the cash price.  Sometimes paying out of pocket is actually less than the amount charged when run through your insurance.  
   
• Look for a discount card or coupon online.  Websites such as goodrx.com can help.
