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.

How delivery will work at launch
RxPriceLink is a referral service. Your prescription is filled and dispensed by one of our licensed partner pharmacies, and a valid prescription is required. We plan to serve New York, including the Southern Tier area, but delivery details, timing and any state-specific steps are still being finalized with our partner pharmacies. We will confirm them at launch and share them with list members first.
