Important: Discount Cards Don't Help Your Insurance
Discount cards (GoodRx, SingleCare) or cash payments do NOT count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket max. If you use a card too early, you might pay more money over the year. The card pays for you, but that money doesn't count. You still have to pay your full deductible later.
