Cash Pay Pharmacy — FAQ

Is it cheaper to pay cash for prescriptions?▾
For most generic prescriptions, yes. Insurance copays are often $10–$25 for medications that cost $3–$8 cash on Script Unlock. For brand-name and specialty drugs, cash pay can also be cheaper than high-deductible plans before the deductible is met.
Do I need to tell my insurance I'm paying cash?▾
No. Federal law allows you to choose to pay cash at any pharmacy without notifying or running your insurance. Script Unlock prices are shown without involving any PBM or insurer.

Patients save an average of $312 per filled prescription compared to retail pricing, and up to 80–89% on common generics. Total platform savings to date: $12.4 million.
I own a pharmacy — should I list cash pay prices on Script Unlock?▾
