Quick answers
Common
questions.
Can I use the card if I have insurance?+
You can ask for a separate discount card price. EzRx cannot be combined with insurance on the same purchase, including Medicare or Medicaid. If you use the card, check with your plan about how the purchase affects your deductible.
Will the card always give me the lowest price?+
Savings vary by medication, quantity, and participating pharmacy. Ask the pharmacy to compare its cash price, your insurance price if you have one, and the EzRx card price before you pay.
Does the card have a membership fee?+
EzRx says its discount program has no enrollment or recurring fee. You pay the pharmacy for your prescription. The program does not pay the pharmacy on your behalf.
Can I get a copy of the card by email?+
Yes. Enter your email on the card page and we’ll send you one welcome email with the card.
Do I need to give this site my prescription details?+
No. You can read the guides, view the card, and compare amounts without entering your name, medication, date of birth, or insurance ID.
