What is Single Care and How Does It Work?
Check out this great free way to save big money at the pharmacy counter.
Prescription costs in the U.S. can feel like a punch to the wallet—especially if you’re uninsured or your insurance doesn’t cover everything. But there’s a smart, simple way to cut those prices without cutting corners: Single Care.
If you’ve never heard of it, you're about to find one of the easiest tools to save serious money on your medications.
At Money Work, we’re all about helping you spend less and stress less. Let’s break down what Single Care is, how it works, and how you can start using it today—for free.
What is Single Care?
Single Care is a free prescription savings service that helps people pay less for medications at pharmacies across the country.
Think of it like a digital coupon system. You search for your medication, find the best price near you, and show the discount card (or app) at the pharmacy counter.
You don’t need:
- Insurance
- Membership fees
- A subscription
Just download the app or go to their website, and you’re good to go.
How Does Single Care Work?
- Search for Your Prescription. Go to SingleCare.com or use the mobile app. Type in your medication name, dosage, and location.
- Compare Prices Near You. Single Care shows prices at different pharmacies—CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and more. The differences can be huge (like $90 vs. $20)!
- Pick the Best Deal. Once you find the lowest price, click to get your free coupon. You can:
- Print it
- Get a text
- Use the app
- Or save your card to use over and over
- Show the Coupon at the Pharmacy. Hand over the Single Care coupon when you pay—that’s it. The pharmacist will apply the discount instantly.
Does It Work If I Have Insurance?
Yes! And sometimes, Single Care beats your insurance co-pay.
You can’t use both at once, but you can compare and choose the cheaper option.
For example:
- Insurance copay: $35
- Single Care price: $12 → Use Single Care and save the difference!
Pro tip: Ask the pharmacist to run both and see which is cheaper.
Where Can You Use Single Care?
Single Care is accepted at over 35,000 pharmacies nationwide, including:
- CVS
- Walgreens
- Walmart
- Kroger
- Rite Aid
- Albertsons
- H-E-B …and many local, independent pharmacies.
Just plug in your zip code to see which locations near you accept it.
What Medications Are Covered?
A huge range—including:
- Antibiotics
- Blood pressure meds
- Diabetes medications
- Antidepressants
- Asthma inhalers
- ADHD meds
- Even pet prescriptions!
Basically, if it's a prescription, Single Care probably has a deal for it.
Is Single Care Legit and Safe?
Yes. Single Care partners directly with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and licensed pharmacies. They’re not collecting your personal health data or selling anything.
It’s HIPAA-compliant, secure, and 100% free to use.
How Much Can You Save?
Savings vary by drug and location, but many users report saving up to 80% on prescriptions. For example:
- Zoloft: $85 → $10
- Lipitor: $150 → $20
- Generic antibiotics: $30+ → FREE or under $5
Over time, that’s hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars saved.
