Will the prices shown on the App, be the price I get at the pharmacy?
In the majority of cases, Yes. However, the price could differ if you searched for a different quantity or strength than your prescription. In addition, our price is based upon an estimate of which NDC (national drug code) is most common for the selected strength and form of the drug. If your pharmacy has a different NDC drug in stock, the price may differ as there could be multiple prices for the same drug if they have different manufacturers.

We do not bill your commercial insurance. When you purchase your medication using the Rx Advantage Card, from NowPatient, you will be doing so out of your pocket. The spend will not count towards your plan deductibles or gaps in the event you have a plan with a deductible. The out-of-pocket cash price you pay can be typically cheaper than your plan copay.
If I am insured and use the Rx Advantage Card, will the out-of-pocket costs contribute towards my plan deductibles?
No. If you elect to use the Rx Advantage Card, the out-of-pocket costs will not contribute towards your plan deductibles.
How is the NowPatient Rx Advantage Card different to a copay card?
The NowPatient Rx Advantage Card is not a Copay Card. Copay cards apply savings to the cost of the medication, usually after their insurance covers a portion.
