Shopping for meds or telehealth services can feel confusing. ZipHealth pricing usually combines a few parts: the medication cost, a teleconsult or prescription fee, shipping, and any membership or discount applied. Knowing those pieces helps you spot a fair price and avoid surprises.
Medication type matters. Generic drugs tend to be cheapest—often a simple monthly supply can cost under $30 depending on the drug. Brand-name meds and specialty drugs can run much higher; expect prices from about $50 to several hundred dollars per month for those. Dosing and pack size change the total cost too: a 30‑day supply costs less than a 90‑day supply outright, though the per‑tablet price can be lower for larger packs.
Telehealth or prescription fees vary. Some ZipHealth plans include a free online consult with a prescription; others charge a one‑time consult fee, commonly between $0 and $50. If a clinician review is required before the pharmacy ships, check whether that review is included or billed separately.
Shipping and handling can add $5–$20 depending on speed and location. International orders may face customs fees or longer transit times. If ZipHealth partners with outside dispensaries, prices can shift by region or supplier stock levels.
Compare the total cost, not just the drug price. Look at medication + consult + shipping. Use the site’s price calculator or add items to cart to see the final number before you pay. Try generic equivalents where appropriate—ask your doctor if a generic will work for you. Generics are bioequivalent and usually far cheaper.
Watch for coupons, patient assistance, and membership discounts. ZipHealth sometimes runs promo codes or offers a subscription plan with lower per‑refill prices. If you take multiple meds, bundling refills into one order can cut shipping and save time.
Check your insurance or pharmacy card. If your plan covers telemedicine prescriptions, uploading your insurance info may drop your out‑of‑pocket cost. For people importing meds, review import rules—Medzino has guides on common limits and paperwork to avoid customs delays or extra fees.
Be cautious of prices that look too low. Extremely cheap meds from unknown sources risk counterfeit products or improper storage. Verify the pharmacy is licensed, read recent customer reviews, and confirm the drug packaging has proper labeling.
If you’re unsure which option fits your budget, take two quick steps: 1) add the medication to the cart to see the full cost, and 2) contact ZipHealth support to confirm consult and shipping fees. Small checks up front save headaches and money later.
