When you see a price for a medication or service, it usually falls into one of three buckets.
List price
The manufacturer-published price before any discounts, insurance, or rebates. It is a benchmark, not a personal price.
Cash price
The price a pharmacy or clinic charges someone paying without insurance. This can vary by location and sometimes by pharmacy.
Savings-program price
The price after applying a manufacturer discount or cap. Eligibility rules apply, and the cap resets monthly or annually.
Why this matters
Comparing a savings-program price to someone else's cash price is like comparing two different products. Truvela labels every price with its type, source, and verification date so you can compare like with like.
