We recently changed our insurance and I was discouraged to find out that the prescriptions I take are not covered at all. Last year I had a great insurance plan and only paid about $15 a month on my two prescriptions. This year, however, the amount I would be paying per month is over $70. I was so excited when I realized that my out of pocket spending will drop by over 50% when I use ValpakRx™!
ValpakRx™ is a free mobile app and prescription discount card that helps users nationwide save every month by finding them the lowest price on prescriptions at their local pharmacies. ValpakRx™ has negotiated a discount rate with a national network of drugstores and retail outlets.
The way it ValpakRx™ works is you will go HERE and enter the prescription name, dosage and quantity that you need to pick up. You will then give your zipcode so that the nearest drugstores can be listed. ValpakRx will then list the pharmacies near you and the discounted cost of your prescription at each of the pharmacies. The average savings is $61 per prescription! Once you select the pharmacy you will get your prescription at, you will be shown a prescription card that has the prescription name/dosage/quantity on it as well as the pharmacy you have selected. You will have a personalized BIN, PCN, Member ID and Group # on the card. Show the card to your pharmacist and they will plug it into their computer to give you the discounted rate. Below is a picture of what the card looks like (I removed all of the personal info that pertains to my prescription, location and ID#s.)
It’s really that simple – it’s almost too good to be true! Best part – this is a FREE service. Anyone can use it! If you have medical insurance, I recommend you compare the cost of your prescription using your medical insurance with the cost using ValpakRx. You may find that you will spend less using ValpakRx!

**The actual amount you will save varies depending on which pharmacy you use and which medication you buy. Use the prescription price lookup feature to get an idea of what your medicine will cost at different pharmacies in your area.
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
