Wanna see how much you saved on Humuhumunukunukuapua? Disclaimer: Dashboard does not have fuzzy dice or pine-scented air fresheners - yet. Our bad. Ever heard of a free app that can save you literally hundreds of dollars a month and ask nothing in return? I certainly hadn't until this life-changing service entered my life.
I was skeptical when I first presented a coupon at a pharmacy a couple of years ago, but low-and-beyond, it worked seamlessly and only took an extra minute or less at checkout.
Never once has a pharmacist not known about GoodRx or frowned at its use. I've even had pharmacists look up the coupon price for me. How awesome is it to know before filling your prescription where you find the best price, in some cases hundreds of dollars less, and exactly how much it will cost without fail?
It makes me sad that so many people just pay the price they are quoted because they don't know about this! What makes it over-the-moon awesome is that you don't have to create an account and with another log in to remember so that your personal medication records can be stored and shared with unknown partners, no promotional emails filling up your inbox, no card you have to carry in your wallet GoodRx asks nothing in return for such a truly amazing service.
I hope it stays this way! From their feedback and my own experience, Good Rx is more often than not better than even thru their health insurance benefits. I recommend for every Rx and for every refill, even on 90 day chronic medications, I ll compare Good Rx with insurance provided prices. They are the only pharmacy that I ve run into this with, who does that occasionally.
Good Rx is saving my patients lives affordably! I have been using the app for some meds for migraines, and I was impressed by the amount that people could save with this app! The pharmacy eliminates the risk that it could be reimbursed an amount less than what a third-party payer would have been willing to pay. A PBM establishes a network of pharmacies that allows consumers with prescription drug insurance to readily fill their prescriptions.
GoodRx provides a convenient and user-friendly interface for finding these PBM rates. Given the often exorbitant drug prices at the pharmacy, it's not shocking that people are eager to pay less for their prescriptions.
But how does GoodRx make any money when it seems to be in the business of handing out coupons for other companies' products? Will it go public or be acquired? And what else should healthcare investors know about the company's place in the healthcare sector's competitive landscape? More than , healthcare providers in the U. GoodRx can help consumers compare prices for veterinary medications just as easily as it can for human medications, and all major U.
This means a large population is eligible to benefit from using the service. The prospect of these benefits in the form of cost savings is how the company attracts users to visit its website and install its mobile application for couponing. Once users are hooked on GoodRx's services, the company then makes money from advertisements and referrals. However, the majority of the company's revenues likely stem from fees that it collects from pharmacy-benefits managers that work on behalf of insurance companies to negotiate drug-purchasing prices with pharmaceutical manufacturers.
GoodRx also offers a subscription-based discount card called GoodRx Gold, which claims to offer even deeper discounts than its free service, but the card isn't accepted at all pharmacies. Because GoodRx is private, its financials are not transparent. If you have insurance, compare the GoodRx price to your insurance co-pay and see which is cheaper.
You can always use GoodRx instead of your insurance. Ask that the pharmacist use the coupon or Gold card to process the transaction as cash instead. GoodRx says it makes money from advertisements and referral fees, not by selling your personal medical data. GoodRx implemented the opt-out and data deletion feature after a Consumer Reports investigation. Generic drugs can be a lot cheaper than their brand-name counterparts, even though they have the same active ingredients.
