You can use SingleCare on almost any prescription you get from your healthcare provider. That includes brand-name drugs. Our Rx savings card can help you save up to 80% on your medications—even some over-the-counter treatments.

How does SingleCare work?

We have direct relationships with pharmacies that let us offer you lower prices, for free. Simply search for your prescription at singlecare.com or on the SingleCare app. Choose your location, then enter your prescription name—either the brand, or the generic.

After you select your medication, you filter by Generic or Brand Name. Generic and brand-name medications have the same active ingredients. With a few exceptions, generic medications have the same efficacy as their brand-name counterparts. The main difference is the price. Generic drugs can be 80% to 85% less expensive. Check out both options to see which gives you the biggest savings.

Then, to get the most accurate prices, you can specify the Form (i.e., capsule, tablet, etc.), Dosage (e.g., how many milligrams), and Quantity (e.g., the number of pills). 

Simply text, print, email, or add a coupon to your digital wallet, then bring it to the pharmacy counter when you pick up your medication.

Who can use SingleCare?

Our card can be used by anyone—whether you have insurance or not. However, it can’t be used at the same time as your insurance card. So if you have prescription coverage, you should compare our prices with your copay. If you don’t have insurance, you should compare our price with the cash retail price.

There will be times when your health insurance will offer a lower price, and there will be times when SingleCare offers the lowest price for prescription drugs on the market. That’s why we encourage our customers to compare drug prices and choose the one that saves the most. Our price history charts make it easy to see how much you would save with SingleCare.
