Health Coupons & Promo Codes

GoodRx is a free website and mobile app that compares prescription drug prices at over 70,000 US pharmacies and generates a coupon for a discounted cash price at the counter. You search for your medication by name, choose a nearby pharmacy with a competitive price, then show the coupon to the pharmacist at pickup. GoodRx is not insurance and cannot be combined with insurance on the same prescription fill. It works for anyone regardless of insurance status and is particularly useful for generic medications, where GoodRx prices often fall below standard insurance copays. In 2024, GoodRx reported that users saved an average of 83% on retail prescription prices using its free tool.

It depends on the specific medication and your plan. GoodRx tends to cost less than insurance for generic drugs and for people who have not yet met their deductible under a high-deductible health plan. Insurance is generally better for brand-name drugs, which benefit from insurer-negotiated rates and tier coverage. You cannot use both at the same time; you choose one at the pharmacy counter. To decide, search your prescription on GoodRx, then check your insurance plan's price through your insurer's portal, and present whichever is cheaper to the pharmacist. GoodRx states that its coupons beat insurance copays in about 37% of cases, per its own published figures.

CVS ExtraCare is a free loyalty program that earns ExtraBucks Rewards on purchases in-store and online. Basic membership rewards are earned on general product purchases and issued quarterly to your receipt or CVS app. Enrolling in the pharmacy rewards benefit earns additional ExtraBucks for prescription pickups, vaccinations, and other qualifying pharmacy activities, up to $50 per calendar year, per CVS's program rules. Rewards cannot be earned on prescriptions in Arkansas, New Jersey, or New York. You scan your ExtraCare card or enter your phone number at checkout to earn and redeem. There is no monthly fee for ExtraCare membership.

myWalgreens is Walgreens's free loyalty program, replacing the older Balance Rewards system. Members earn 1% Walgreens Cash on all eligible purchases storewide, including pharmacy, and 5% on Walgreens-branded products. Walgreens Cash works as store credit, not redeemable for cash, and expires 12 months after it is earned. Prescription rewards cannot be earned in Arkansas, New Jersey, or New York. Members also receive access to personalized digital coupons and weekly member pricing in-store. The myWalgreens credit card boosts earning rates to 10% on Walgreens-branded purchases and 5% on everything else. Walgreens Cash is redeemed at checkout by entering your phone number or scanning the app.

Both Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts cover a broad range of out-of-pocket health expenses. At CVS and Walgreens, you can use your HSA or FSA card for prescriptions, OTC medications, first aid supplies, contact lenses, sunscreen, and many personal care items, now eligible since the 2020 CARES Act expanded coverage. Vitamins and supplements taken for general health are typically not FSA or HSA eligible unless accompanied by a letter of medical necessity from a doctor, per IRS guidelines. The 2025 FSA annual contribution limit is $3,300, with a carryover of up to $660 to 2026. HSA funds have no annual use deadline and roll over indefinitely. Confirm eligible items with your plan administrator before purchasing.

Telehealth connects you with a licensed healthcare provider entirely online, without a physical office visit. In the US, Hims and Hers and Ro are two well-established direct-to-patient telehealth platforms. Hims and Hers covers men's and women's health conditions, including hair loss, sexual health, anxiety, depression, skincare, and weight management in all 50 states. You complete an intake form, a provider reviews it, and treatment is shipped to your home if appropriate. Ro focuses on weight loss, sexual health, hair loss, and fertility, and offers an insurance concierge service to check medication coverage. Neither platform requires insurance; both accept FSA and HSA payment for eligible products where allowed by the patient's plan.

Coverage depends on your insurer, your plan, and the type of service. Most major US health insurers cover some form of telehealth visits, particularly for primary care and behavioral health, though copays, deductibles, and in-network requirements still apply. Direct-to-consumer platforms like Hims, Hers, and Ro generally do not accept insurance for their consultations, though they may accept FSA and HSA payment for eligible medications and products. As of 2025, IRS rules allow HSA-eligible individuals to receive telehealth coverage through their HDHP without it affecting HSA eligibility, per the IRS Publication 969 guidance. Check your plan documents or call your insurer to confirm which telehealth services are covered before booking a visit.
