How it works
- Tell us what you take. Join the list and, if you like, name your medication.
- Request a quote. At launch, ask us to check what savings may be available to you.
- Licensed partner pharmacies fill it. With your valid prescription, one of our licensed partner pharmacies dispenses your medication.
Why prices are lower
Prices for the same medication can differ a lot from one licensed pharmacy to another. RxPriceLink points you toward licensed partner pharmacies that may offer lower prices, so you can compare before you decide. We do not dispense medication ourselves.
Rural New York: older residents at a glance
Outside the big metro areas, 18 New York counties in 5 regions have about 228,133 residents aged 65 or older, 23.0% of 992,545 people, compared with 18.9% for New York State. In the Adirondacks, the Catskills, the Finger Lakes and the Southern Tier, the nearest pharmacy can be a long drive away, so we are working with licensed partner pharmacies on how to serve rural addresses. Choose a region below for its figures and local help.

Rural addresses and delivery
If the nearest pharmacy is a long drive away, home delivery may matter more to you. RxPriceLink is a referral service: your prescription is filled and dispensed by one of our licensed partner pharmacies, and a valid prescription is required. Whether and how our partner pharmacies will deliver to small towns, rural routes and PO boxes is still being finalized, and we will confirm the details at launch and share them with list members first. We cannot promise delivery to any particular address or by any particular date yet.

Will you deliver to rural or PO Box addresses?
We plan to serve New York through licensed partner pharmacies, but delivery details, including how rural routes, small towns and PO boxes will be handled, are still being finalized with our partner pharmacies. We will confirm them at launch and tell list members first. We cannot promise delivery to any particular address or by any particular date yet.
Where can I find free Medicare and senior help if I live far from a city?
Each rural region page and the New York page have a "Free Medicare and senior help" section with free government and nonprofit services. They are not affiliated with RxPriceLink and can't answer questions about our service.
How did you decide which counties are rural?
We used the federal government's 2023 rural-urban classification: counties coded 4 through 9 are nonmetro. We then picked counties with a high share of residents aged 65 or older, using federal 2024 population estimates, and grouped neighbors into regions. The grouping is ours, not an official designation.
Do I need to live in one of these regions to join the list?
No. The pre-launch list is open to New York residents. Choose New York on the form; you do not need to enter a county or town.
Is RxPriceLink a pharmacy?
No. RxPriceLink is a referral service. Prescriptions are filled and dispensed by licensed partner pharmacies, and a valid prescription is required.
