Honeybee Health is a cash-only mail-order pharmacy based in California. You search for your medication, see the price, add it to a cart and check out, and Honeybee's pharmacists get the prescription from your doctor or old pharmacy before mailing it. Prices are posted for each drug: azithromycin starts at $6, clobetasol topical at $8 and bupropion XL at $9.70, and orders over $40 ship free. It is licensed to ship to all 50 states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico, sends reminders when a refill is due, and fills most pet prescriptions. Honeybee does not accept insurance and says it keeps prices low by skipping insurers and favoring generics. That makes it a good comparison point for anyone with a high deductible, but it is weaker than the bigger services on this list for brand drugs, same-day needs or insured patients with low copays.
