You’re Probably Overpaying For Prescription Meds — But How Much?

Choosing between purchasing medication or paying rent and putting food on the table is a grim reality that people all over the country — even those with insurance — are facing each day.

High medication prices have long been a hot button issue, and a study by USC suggests that Americans overpay for their prescriptions 23 percent of the time. This alarming statistic is due in part to the fact that most people simply aren’t aware that the price for the same prescription can vary widely between pharmacies that are located in the same neighborhood.

The good news is that there is a simple solution available to ensure you never overpay for another prescription again. GoodRx aims to help Americans keep more of their money in their own pockets by making it as easy as possible to compare prescription prices at pharmacies in their area.
