The pharmacist gave me a different price than what the savings calculator showed. What can I do?
It's frustrating to be quoted one price online, only to find it’s different when you arrive at the pharmacy. Prescription prices are volatile, and can change daily at different pharmacies even in the same zip code.
When you use our price check tools, be sure to do a final look-up on the same day you are paying for your drugs. You’re far less likely to be surprised by a different amount than you expected, and, you may find another pharmacy with an even lower price!
If you're still having problems, call our toll-free support line at 1-800-407-8156, Monday through Friday, from 9am to 8pm EST. Our friendly U.S.-based staff will be glad to help get to the bottom of any issues.

Can I use this to get discounts on my Medical Marijuana?
No. At this time, our discounts only cover FDA approved medications. The FDA has not approved marijuana for any medical use, so the ScriptSave WellRx card can’t provide discounts for medical marijuana.
Can I use this to get discounts on Canadian medications?
No. ScriptSave WellRx only offers discounts for the US, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
Can I save on prescriptions for my pets?
Yes. Many drugs for pets are also human drugs. Ask your veterinarian if there is a human equivalent and dosage for your pet. If so, your vet can write a prescription to be filled with your ScriptSave WellRx savings card at most of our participating pharmacies.
