Before You Refill Your Medication, Check This. It Could Save You Hundreds.
When Money Gets Tight, People Start Skipping Their Medications
Money is tight for a lot of people right now. And when it is, something quiet happens.
People start skipping doses. Waiting too long to refill prescriptions. Trying to make one bottle last a little longer.
Not because they don’t care about their health. Because they’re trying to pay the bills.
That shouldn’t be normal. But it is.
I recently looked up the price of a common heart medication at different pharmacies. The difference was hundreds of dollars. Same medication, same dose, same amount.
One of those pharmacies was Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drug Company. And I think more people need to know it exists.
I actually use this service myself. One of my own medications was cheaper here than my insurance copay. Let that sink in. It was less expensive to skip my insurance entirely and just pay their price directly.
Here’s how it works. You go to their website and search your medication. The price shows up right there, before you do anything else. No surprises, no fine print.
If the price is lower than what you’re paying now, your doctor just sends the prescription electronically. They ship it straight to your door.
A few things to know: they only sell generic medications, they don’t carry controlled substances, and you don’t need insurance or a membership to use them.
I made a short video below showing exactly how to look up your medication and compare prices. It takes about two minutes.
This is not sponsored. I just don’t want people to have to choose between buying groceries and taking their medication.
Before you refill anything, go check. The only correction to my video is that shipping is NOT included in that pricing.
