The card is designed for everyone, including those who are insured, uninsured, underinsured, or on Medicare or Medicaid, but it cannot be combined with insurance for additional discounts.
To utilize SingleCare, users can look up prescription prices on the website by entering their location and the specific details of their medication, or inquire directly at the pharmacy for the SingleCare price versus their insurance price.
The average American spends more than $1,200 on medications a year. In 2018 alone, a whopping 5.8 billion prescriptions were filled. Plus, thousands of additional over-the-counter drugs are purchased every day nationwide. And since the U.S. has some of the highest rates of spending on prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs, that all translates to a lot of dollars spent by consumers.
That’s where SingleCare comes in. We want to help close the gap in the U.S. healthcare system and reduce the cost of medications. With more than 30 million Americans uninsured and millions more underinsured, there is an ever-growing need for affordable medications.
SingleCare is a free prescription savings card that can be used at partner pharmacies, such as Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS. The card can be used if you are insured, uninsured, or underinsured—even if you’re on Medicare or Medicaid. Now, you can’t use our card with your insurance, but our members often find that using our card saves them more money.
To find the best price on your prescriptions, you can look up the price in advance on our website. After entering your location, be sure to select the dose and amount you need of the medication. Alternatively, you can ask the pharmacist to check the SingleCare price at the drug counter. He or she can even tell you the difference between our price and your insurance price.
