Dear Patient,

I understand that the cost of medications can be a significant burden, especially if you have no insurance or high co-pays. I want to share some resources that may help you save money on your prescriptions. It's worth noting that sometimes the prices offered by these services can be lower than your out-of-pocket co-pay, even if you have insurance.

For Maryland Residents: Goodpill

Goodpill is a non-profit pharmacy that has recently become available to Maryland residents. They aim to make medications more affordable by offering a wide range of generic medications at low costs, often just a few dollars for a month's supply, delivered directly to your home. They do not carry all medications (e.g., controlled substances, insulin), so it's best to check their website for availability. You can learn more and register at https://goodpill.org/.

 

For All Patients (including Non-Maryland Residents): Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company

Another excellent option to explore is Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Company. This online pharmacy is built on a transparent pricing model. They show you their cost for the medication, add a fixed 15% markup, a small pharmacy fee, and shipping. This can result in significant savings on many generic medications. You can find out more and see if your medication is available at https://costplusdrugs.com/.

 

For Comparing Prices: GoodRx

GoodRx is a valuable tool for comparing prescription drug prices at various pharmacies in your area, including major chains and local drugstores. They also provide free coupons that can offer significant discounts off the cash price of medications. While GoodRx itself is not an online pharmacy, it can help you find the lowest price for your medication, which you can then use at a local pharmacy or compare against the prices from Goodpill or Mark Cuban's pharmacy. You can check prices and find coupons at https://www.goodrx.com/.
