Martin Sheen advertises one on TV.
The two I know are GoodRx and Singlecare. I have used GoodRx twice where Medicare was not going to pay for a prescription.
You should check them out if your insurance coverage is not good or if your carrier turns something down.
My brother had a scrip that his VA insurance didn't want to pay and it was going to cost him over $100 for a month. He was going to appeal it and go without if they didn't pay it, but when he checked with one of the cards he got it for $18.

Just google "prescription discount cards." You can download a temporary card, there is no real membership or cost to use it, and it might save you some money.
