LowerScript is a free prescription discount card for California residents. It lowers the cash price of medications by up to 80% at participating pharmacies statewide — including CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and Costco — with no insurance, no sign-up and no fees. Compare the price for your medication, then show the card (or your phone) at the pharmacy counter to pay the lower amount.
Built for California
28.8% of California residents age 5 and older speak Spanish at home — the highest share of any state (USAFacts, citing 2024 Census data) — and LowerScript is built bilingual from the ground up: every price check, every card and every guide is available in español. At the same time, California’s Medi-Cal program covered 13,065,328 residents as of October 2025, and nearly 7.2 million Californians were enrolled in Medicare as of January 2026, according to healthinsurance.org’s summary of CMS and state data. A plan’s deductible, or a non-formulary drug, can still leave a cash price cheaper than the copay — LowerScript puts a real, immediate price in your hands at the pharmacy counter, whichever situation you’re in.
Cost causes many people to skip needed medications: in a nationally representative survey, roughly one in six U.S. adults managing more than one chronic condition reported not taking a medication as prescribed because of cost.1 A free discount card is one simple way to keep the cash price affordable.
Whether you fill prescriptions in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, or elsewhere in California, you can check a lower price before you pay — and present your card to save. LowerScript is also available in Spanish. Residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino make up 97.1% of Coachella, 95.5% of East Los Angeles, 80.9% of Salinas, 77.1% of Oxnard, 76.6% of Santa Ana and 70.2% of San Bernardino (Census QuickFacts, ACS 2020–2024).
