Prescription price check
Compare what a prescription costs with insurance, at cash price, and with discount cards at nearby pharmacies — without changing what the doctor prescribed.
Ask for it like this
- “How can I pay less for my prescription?”
- “Is a discount card cheaper than my insurance copay?”
- “Compare pharmacy prices for a medication”
What your assistant does
- Get the exact drug name, strength, form, quantity, and ZIP code, and whether the user has insurance. Do not ask about diagnoses or medical history — price comparison does not need them.
- Search cash prices and discount-card prices (GoodRx, SingleCare, and similar) at pharmacies near that ZIP code, plus mail-order options and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs where the drug is listed.
- Search whether a generic or biosimilar exists, and whether the manufacturer runs a savings card or patient-assistance program.
- Show a short table: pharmacy, price, and how to pay (insurance copay, discount card, or cash). Note that discount-card purchases usually do not count toward an insurance deductible.
- If a cheaper generic or another form of the drug exists, tell the user to ask their doctor or pharmacist about it. Never suggest changing the drug, dose, or schedule yourself.
