Good RX

[WEDWDW]

How easy is this to use?

Do you always use it when it is cheaper than your copay?

 

[TippyThomas]

If it's cheaper than my copay I just ask my pharmacist to use the GoodRX code. They've always done it without me doing much of anything else. It was super easy for me.

SO easy!
My pharmacist actually told me about it.

used it once for a med not covered-at costco. easy.

I've used it when it's lower. The pharmacists don't care. They just input the coupon. (I've also done SingleCare.

Once I was standing in line to have my prescription refilled. I happen to overhear a customer at the counter get the price of the prescription. It was like $120. They just didn't have the money for it and their insurance wasn't paying for it. As she walked past me, I asked her if she knew about GoodRX. She did a search for her med on her phone and came back so happy, thanking me that she got a good discounted price for her prescription.

Wow-I can't believe I am so late getting on the Good RX train!lol

I just always assumed it was an "if it sounds too good to be true,it probably is" thing.

If the Good RX price is cheaper at another Pharmacy than the Good RX price at your regular Pharmacy,do you have your Doctor resend the Prescription to the Pharmacy with the cheaper Good RX price or just take the lesser Good RX savings at your regular Pharmacy?

SO easy!

I will definitely be having a talk with my long time Pharmacist for never talking to me about the benefits of Good RX!

Very disappointed in him!

 

[Dan Murphy]

I use it often, excellent!

My doctor usually lets me know if one of my scripts would be cheaper using it and where to go
to get the price…

The pricing of the prescription has nothing to do with your doctor. It's the price the pharmacy charges. You'd only talk to your doctor about prescribing a generic version or something ELSE if the price of the prescription he prescribed is too high for you. Just present the coupon to the pharmacy.

I don't have many prescriptions, but I need to check that out. Savings are savings!

Our daughter uses GoodRx for an acne medication and it’s about 1/3 of the cost vs. our insurance.

We’ve also used Amazon Pharmacy for home delivery of certain medications.

 

[Christine]

I've tried it a few times but never has the price been better than my insurance. I have one med that my insurance doesn't cover and the GoodRX price seems to be right on par with the cash price.

 

[Meriweather]

I am on one med for just a limited time and GoodRX is higher than my insurance.

 

[mumto3girls]

I have used it—sometimes it is cheaper and sometimes not, but a great option to have and try.

I swear I don't understand how this works - and I've read about it. It seems to be a GREAT deal fro consumers, and someone is making money off of it becuase they run so many commercials, but I really don't get it. It has somethign to do with cutting out a middle-man somewhere, but I don't really know. It is great and easy to use though from what I understand - no drawbacks from the customer side.

I've had the same experience. It's never been a better deal for me to go with GoodRX. And I don't have any RX's that are unusual.

What I am asking is let's say you have a Prescription for Lipitor and the Good RX price at your regular Pharmacy,let's say Walgreens, is $10.00 and the Good RX price at,let's say CVS down the road,is $5.00 and both are less than your copay.

Do you use your regular Pharmacy at Walgreens where the Prescription has been sent,do you have the Prescription resent to CVS or do you always get a paper Prescription so you can take it directly to the Pharmacy in your area with the lowest Good RX price yourself?

I've used that (or something similar) for a cat getting human medicine. He had his own account, and it saved us some on inhalers for asthma.

Well in addition to my long time Pharmacist,looks like I will be having the same talk with my long time Doctor!

You guys are lucky to have had Pharmacists and Doctors nice enough to discuss Good RX with you!

Makes me think it is time for some changes for me.
