Everyday cash-pay prescriptions use: Drug Cost + 15% + $5 dispensing fee. That is the full price model for this program—no hidden PBM markup layered on top.
Most common medications hover around $5 for a 30-day supply, though exact prices depend on medication, strength, and quantity.
When cash-pay can beat insurance
Patients with high deductibles, limited formularies, or Medicare coverage gaps often find cash-pay lower than their pharmacy counter surprise. Always compare your specific medication—search our prescriptions tool for instant lookups.
