Pharmacy Explained

Who publishes the site?

BuzzTransit LLC owns and publishes Pharmacy Explained. Our guides explain how to compare prescription prices. Your pharmacy confirms the price of a fill, and your insurer explains your plan’s benefits.

How the site is funded

BuzzTransit LLC participates in the EzRx affiliate program and may earn a fee when a qualifying prescription is filled using our card. The lowest price varies by prescription and pharmacy. Compare the options available to you before paying.

Privacy on this site

The comparison tool uses only the prices you type. It calculates the result in your browser, without sending or saving those amounts. The site has no prescription intake form. We count daily visits and page views using a first-party counter. Your browser stores the time of your last page view so that a new visit can be counted after 30 minutes of inactivity. The counter stores only daily totals. It does not collect page addresses, email addresses, or anything you type. It respects Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. Hosting services may process routine connection information when you visit.

When you request a card by email, BuzzTransit LLC uses Zoho CRM to record your email address and send the welcome email you requested. For questions about your request, write to hello@pharmacyexplained.com.

Links to EzRx and HealthCare.gov take you to those organizations’ websites, where their own privacy policies apply.

About our sources

We link to the program’s terms for card rules and to HealthCare.gov for insurance definitions. Examples use illustrative prices. The savings card on this site is the card issued by EzRx.
