Check your insurance policy for pharmacy benefits. Many plans cover prescription medications, but the extent of coverage varies widely. Look for details on formularies (lists of covered drugs) and co-pays. You’ll find this information on your insurance card or the insurer’s website.
Comparing Prices
Online pharmacies often list prices directly. Compare prices from several providers before making a purchase. Factor in any shipping fees. Consider using a prescription discount card if your insurance doesn’t offer sufficient coverage; many cards offer significant savings on brand-name and generic drugs.
Payment Methods
Reputable online pharmacies accept various payment methods, including credit cards and debit cards. Verify the security measures before submitting your payment information. Check if they offer payment plans or financing options if the total cost is substantial. Be wary of pharmacies that only accept unusual payment methods.
