NBC News (9/5, Lovelace) reports, “Patients could save millions of dollars by buying prescription drugs through online pharmacy discount programs instead of through traditional insurance plans, a study published Monday in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine finds.” Researchers “looked at 20 commonly prescribed generic drugs, including statins, heart failure medications and antidepressants,” and “found that at least 1 out of 5 prescriptions were cheaper through the Amazon or GoodRx discount card programs compared to what patients actually paid out of pocket for the drugs.”
