When you're not feeling well, the last thing you want to worry about is the cost of your prescription medication.

Worse still is spending time shopping around, trying to find the best price.

Well, say goodbye to all that.

Now, with your HealthTap subscription, you can get discounts of up to 75% on prescriptions written by your HealthTap Primary Care Doctor. Here's how it works:

  • After your appointment, HealthTap will prompt you to select your default pharmacy
  • We'll compare the cost of your medication at your pharmacy with four others closest to you
  • You'll have the option to change which pharmacy your prescription goes to in order to receive a lower price
  • Download* a ScriptHero coupon and present it when paying for the medication

*You can print a copy, show it on your phone at the pharmacy, or take a screenshot and show that.

That's it!

Prescription discounts are an important addition to HealthTap. Nearly half of U.S. residents take prescription drugs, according to the CDC. And those drugs typically cost 2.5 times more than they do in other Western countries, according to a new report from the nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization, RAND Corporation.
