Highly Recommend!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we do not have medical insurance. Having to pay out of pocket for prescriptions from community health providers used to be a highly stressful situation for me because of the expense. The Good Rx program was recommended by several pharmacies when I called around in search of the lowest prices for my daily medications. Good Rx Gold is a monthly membership program that has proven to be invaluable to us in managing our limited income. I take a number of medications for high risk conditions and this membership is a necessity! Each month, I save hundreds of dollars just on one heart medication alone. It allows me to take my medications as directed. Before Good Rx, I would stretch out my meds each month, skipping doses or taking half doses until I could save enough for my next refill pick up. I'm feel so fortunate to have found Good Rx because it is literally saving my life. Thank you, Good Rx, for your efforts to help people like me afford necessary medications. Also additional heartfelt thanks for working with all our local pharmacies to ensure these meds are kept affordable.

Life SAVER!!
The first time I saw a GoodRX card in my doctor’s waiting room I honestly assumed it was bogus. I am SO glad I slipped that card into my purse, though, because I have used GoodRX more times than I can count. Some prescriptions just aren’t covered by my insurance, like thyroid medicine and antidepressants, and I don’t have $300-$1,000 to drop, so this program has REALLY been beneficial to me.
Now that I’m using the app, it’s even easier to get prescription assistance. I just look up the medication my doctor prescribed, provide my pharmacy with the codes from GoodRX, and my cash price almost always goes WAY down.
I use Walgreens for all of my prescriptions, and for a while now, any time I’ve had one my insurance won’t cover, they automatically run the GoodRX coupon, so when I go to pick it up, everything is already handled.
I HIGHLY recommend using the GoodRX app. If you’re skeptical, just plug in the details of your prescriptions NOT covered under your insurance, and you can see the different options in your area. This can be done without even putting any of your personal information in, if I’m not mistaken.

So VERY helpful
I rarely do “reviews” but THIS app has saved me so much money. When my insurance benefits changed drastically a couple of years ago, When I went on SSDI, I no longer enjoyed being able to use commercial coupons for a couple of VERY expensive meds. While nothing will ever replace THAT, GoodRx has saved me a LOT of money! The “Part D plan” that I have to use doesn’t cover almost all of my essential prescribed meds. Without GoodRx, I don’t think I would even be able to pay for all of my meds. At least now I can afford most of them, and some of the GoodRx prices are better than what my private insurance used to be! It’s always been a “fun challenge” to me, always shopping around for everything to find the very best prices. With this app, I can always find the best price nearby and it has become an essential app for me. I highly recommend using GoodRx, even if you have wonderful prescription drug coverage. It beats even the smallest copays sometimes! I LIKE to save money. I think we all do….. Thank you for this app!

LOVED GOODRX FOR OVER A DECADE
From scraping pennies together in college to real ongoing mental health maintenance; trying to hold it together as you get to the point in your health journey of dollar signs to see if you can now “afford” the medication you’ve been prescribed…. GoodRX is like, that hug you need right then, and beyond that… it’s that true “American” idea where all is just and free that you really see no one doing anywhere else here. I actually have *Gold* GoodRx and in place of addtl prescription riders on my health insurance as it always beats everything I pay $$$ for. It’s kind of unbelievable and a huge testament to this company, that over a decade later it’s still the same god send as it was when I first discovered it. It was actually a pharmacist who saw I couldn’t afford the ~$300 script; one GoodRX coupon and my eyes in disbelief later, it was like $8. Changed my views on MHC and affordability. Recommend to any and everyone who needs it, which is any and everyone. Thank you GoodRX, from the bottom of my heart-!

Prices have not been accurate once
While it is true that GoodRx will get you a much better price on prescriptions than you would get from The Cartel at full price, after using the coupons about 20 times, the price on the coupon has never been accurate in my experience. Most have only been a dollar or so higher than the coupon price, but a handful of times I have been told by pharmacists that the true price with the coupon is as much as 20 Times the price on the coupon. That was after downloading the coupon just minutes before trying to use it. Two pharmacists have told me that they have never seen GoodRx prices accurate at the point of sale. I use another app as well (won’t name because I don’t want to make this review appear to be an endorsement) and the prices have always been accurate. I will say that Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug offers all my prescriptions at a lower prices and with total transparency regarding the price. I would encourage people to try MCCPD before resorting to coupons, and I would also encourage people to download other coupon apps.

Decades ago I use to have to do this manually .. as in look up each of the manufacture of each medication for 6 different family members and contact them or my doctor to see if they had a discount card and then try to get it pushed through my pharmacist and then through my insurance …. I love this app and my only real complaint (NOW) is no matter how many times that I have said “No thanks to the subscription option” it still asks me after every single action I take, making about half the time I’m using the app is spent w me declining the subscription option.
My other “compliant” is just a silly I wish this tool/app was around 20yrs ago bc this could have saved so much time & stress for me.
And finally I used to look forward to the silly updates but I guess they finally let the person go who made reading the update descriptions interesting & fun to read - which is a bummer. I’d vote to bring them back. Otherwise great app!

Great app and great savings!!
At first I was not sure this was even legitimate. However, I decided what did I have to lose. My script was going to cost me over five hundred dollars, and I certainly could not afford that. My prescription insurance did not have my drug in their formulary. Looked it up on the Good Rx app and found it would be around one hundred with the coupon. I had the doctor send a new prescription and when I went to pick up, I handed them my phone with the coupon codes. Much to my surprise it all worked and I got the meds for the price shown in Good Rx. Since, I have used it to check prices on all my drugs. Had a second one that was expensive so I did a coupon for that in the app, and it worked as described and I saved money over my prescription insurance. I recommend everyone get the Good Rx app and start saving money too. This is an amazing app. It even notifies you of price changes in any of your meds!! Amazing—you will be amazed too!

GoodRx Gold is worth its weight in Gold
I have been using GoodRx Gold ever since it came out. I just tried filling a prescription at a Ralph’s pharmacy that I’ve used for all of my prescriptions since 2002. The pharmacist told me that Ralph’s/Kroger no longer takes GoodRx Gold because, “Frankly, they’re losing money. The prices are less than Ralph’s/Kroger pays for their prescriptions.” In other words, GoodRx & GoodRx Gold are doing a Great Job! negotiating prescription prices for those of us who use this discount card. What’s interesting to me is that no pharmacist (I know all of them at this Ralph’s personally.) ever told me about the fact that Ralph’s/Kroger no longer takes GoodRx Gold. What am I going to do - even though I’ve used this pharmacy since 2002 for all of my prescriptions? I’ll take my prescription to a pharmacy that WILL fill my prescription using the GoodRx Gold discount because I’ve literally saved thousands of dollars using this discount card! (By the way, I do not work for any special interest or for GoodRx, nor has anyone paid me to say this. I’m just a happy consumer, a senior on Medicare, who wants to pass the word along.) Thanks!

Dragon slayer
This fantastic service helps me as a physician to help my patients beat the unreasonable and unforgiving pharmacists, health insurance companies and big Pharma. It’s still disheartening that I have to tell patients that the pharmacists will not voluntarily tell them that they can pay less if they pay cash than if they use their “health insurance”. The pharmacists always take the highest price, and only render the lower price when the patient knows they have the right to receive a lower cash pay price. The health insurers are in cahoots with the pharmacist in this cheat. And of course the health insurers are taking over the pharmacy industry by directing patients to “pharmacy benefit managers” who work really hard at benefiting them selves. Good RX works so well, I’m waiting any day for it to disappear after being purchased by one of the evil “pharmacy benefit managers”. They are “managing” things all right. They’re bringing healthcare to a screeching halt by requiring prior authorization for healthcare that actually benefits people. They don’t want people to receive healthcare that works. They are only interested in enriching themselves.

It is phenomenal the way you are looking out for your patiences! We are so grateful we have been able to provide assistance and savings to you and them. Thank you! 💛
Yes, it absolutely does save you money!
I’ve used GoodRX for years, I started seeing a new Dr. and he asked me if I have the “GoodRx” app. I told him I’d never heard of it, he told me that he had recently heard about it from one of his patients, and that it can save some serious money on medication. I downloaded it. My first experience was at the other corner pharmacy (not my preferred CVS)
I did have insurance through my employer. BUT, keep reading. I handed the Pharmacist my prescription, and my insurance card. She put everything in the system and said my medication was going to cost $140!! She saw the look on my face and said Yep, I guess you don’t want it do you. Even her pharmacy tech was surprised at how rude she was. I explained to her that I didn’t need it, and asked if she would quote the price with the good RX coupon. She said that no coupon was going to be better than insurance and straight up walked off! After she walked off, her pharmacy tech asked if he could do it for me, after handing him my phone he scan the coupon and the price went from $140 down to $45! That was just the coupon, no insurance! Yes I absolutely did what you would’ve done. I let the pharmacist know immediately that she needs to actually listen to her customers and that I saved $95 with the GoodRx app!
