Why is Vitamin B12 so expensive without insurance?
Chain pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart) set high cash prices for Vitamin B12because their pricing engines are optimized for insurance-paid customers, not cash-pay patients. Cash pay at a chain often runs 3–5× the true wholesale price.
Independent pharmacies on Script Unlock — the ones bidding for your prescription — compete for your business. They don't need to protect insurance contracts. Their cash price reflects what Vitamin B12 actually costs plus a fair margin. That's why Vitamin B12 on Script Unlock lands at $3/month instead of $12+.
