A copayment (copay) or coinsurance is the portion of the total medication cost that you pay. Your prescription plan pays the rest of the cost. Here’s how these can affect the cost of your medication:

  • To be eligible for a copay or coinsurance instead of paying the full cost for some medications, some plans require that you buy a certain amount of medication or that you buy it from a certain pharmacy network.
  • Depending on your plan’s deductible, you might pay the full cost to fill a prescription.
  • Deductibles, copays, and coinsurance vary by plan. To learn about your plan’s details, go to Benefits Overview.

You can learn more about terms like deductible, copay, and coinsurance in Common Terms.

Sometimes there might be a difference between a price quoted online for a prescription you can pick up from a local pharmacy in your network and what you actually pay at that pharmacy. Here are a few reasons why this might happen:

  • Sales tax: The state in which your local network pharmacy is located might charge sales tax in addition to the prescription price. Our website pricing does not include any sales tax that your state could apply.
  • Your plan: Your plan might include some local network pharmacies that apply further discounts to the retail prices listed on our site.
  • Price changes from drug makers: The company that makes your medication might have changed the price of the medication at some point after you looked it up on our site.
