Houston prescription discount card
LowerScript is a free prescription discount card for Houston and Harris County residents. It lowers the cash price of prescriptions by up to 80% at participating pharmacies including CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Walmart, H-E-B — no insurance, sign-up or fees.

A free card that helps Houston-area residents save up to 80% on prescriptions — across Texas's largest city. No insurance, no sign-up, no fees.
Houston's economy runs on energy, the Texas Medical Center, shipping and manufacturing — a mix of large employers and independent contractors, meaning coverage varies widely from job to job. About 26.4% of Houston residents under 65 have no health insurance (Census QuickFacts, V2025), among the higher uninsured rates of Texas's major metros. Harris County's public hospital system, Harris Health, serves many uninsured Houston residents for care — LowerScript is a separate, free cash-price card you can use at area retail pharmacies whether or not you receive care through Harris Health.
