How it works
- Tell us what you take. Join the list and, if you like, name your medication.
- Request a quote. At launch, ask us to check what savings may be available to you.
- Licensed partner pharmacies fill it. With your valid prescription, one of our licensed partner pharmacies dispenses your medication.
Why prices are lower
Prices for the same medication can differ a lot from one licensed pharmacy to another. RxPriceLink points you toward licensed partner pharmacies that may offer lower prices, so you can compare before you decide. We do not dispense medication ourselves.

Free help from New York's own programs
These are official state resources. They are independent of RxPriceLink, and we are not affiliated with them.
EPIC: state prescription program
The Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program is a New York State program that helps eligible residents age 65 and over with prescription drug costs, alongside Medicare Part D. Eligibility rules apply, so check the official site for the current requirements.
HIICAP: free Medicare counseling
The Health Insurance Information Counseling and Assistance Program (HIICAP) offers free counseling on Medicare, Medicare drug coverage and other health insurance. It is overseen by the New York State Office for the Aging and delivered through local offices for the aging.
Call 1-800-701-0501 and you will be routed to your county program.
How delivery will work at launch
RxPriceLink is a referral service. Your prescription is filled and dispensed by one of our licensed partner pharmacies, and a valid prescription is required. We plan to serve New York, but delivery details, timing and any state-specific steps are still being finalized with our partner pharmacies. We will confirm them at launch and share them with list members first.
New York questions
Does RxPriceLink replace EPIC or HIICAP?
No. EPIC and HIICAP are separate New York State programs with their own rules, and we are not affiliated with them. HIICAP counselors can explain your Medicare options for free. Ask EPIC how it works with any pharmacy you use.
Will RxPriceLink deliver prescriptions in New York?
We plan to serve New York seniors through licensed partner pharmacies. Delivery details are still being finalized and will be confirmed at launch. We will tell list members first.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. A valid prescription from your prescriber is required. We never ask you to upload prescriptions or health records on this site.
