Amazon Pharmacy combines a mail-order pharmacy with Amazon's checkout and delivery network. It ships to physical addresses in all 50 states, offers Same-Day Delivery in many areas and lets you check a medication's price before you transfer it, with both an estimated insurance price and a cash price shown. Most insurance plans are accepted, FSA and HSA cards work, and U.S.-licensed pharmacists answer questions 24/7. The standout for price shoppers is RxPass: Prime members pay $5 a month for as many eligible generics as they take, and the list covers more than 50 common medications. PillPack packaging sorts doses by date and time for people on several drugs, and eligible manufacturer coupons are applied automatically. The limits are real, though. RxPass and Prime discounts need a Prime membership, which costs extra, RxPass only covers its own list, and Prime savings cannot be combined with insurance or used by people on Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare for certain drugs.

Who it is for

Prime members who take common generics and want refills handled and delivered with little effort.

Price

RxPass costs $5 a month for Prime members and covers more than 50 eligible generics; other drugs are priced per prescription.

RxPass is always $5 a month—no matter how many meds you take.
