INCREDIBLE SAVINGS—Better than insurance!

GoodRx has saved me a BUNDLE, and I don’t know where I would be without it! I have several severe medical issues, including rare genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases and complex medical conditions, all of which require medication(s) to manage their progression and/or symptoms. Without GOOD Rx, my meds would cost me a MINIMUM of $2,200-$2,700 per month, and that’s WITH my Rx insurance coverage!!! Using GoodRx, I pay between $325-$400 per month!! WOW! Without GoodRx, I would be unable to afford a majority of my medications; as a result, I would be hospitalized and suffering severe pain constantly. GoodRx has literally saved me from having to be hospitalized. I can’t praise GoodRx enough! Note: For those of you on maintenance medications (e.g. thyroid, heart, blood pressure, and other monthly meds), you should ABSOLUTELY get your Rxs filled in a 3mo quantity, as the savings for 3mo quantities are EVEN BETTER than the monthly savings. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GoodRx to everyone, regardless of your insurance coverage. GoodRx is a LIFESAVER!!!

Great! Better than some insurance plans!!

I have new prescription insurance. I’ve had two instances since January where my insurance required prior authorization. One medication I was already on for a year prior to the new insurance. The new insurance wanted a prior authorization and would only dispense one month at a time – as previous insurance allowed a three month supply of this medication. I ended up using Good RX and got my three month supply of medication at half the cost that I would’ve been paying with my new insurance and no prior authorization. Same medication. Second instance was – I sustained a rib fracture that I was taking Tylenol with codeine. To try a medicine that was not a narcotic, my doctor ordered Lidoderm patch. Here I am on a Friday at 4:30 PM and my insurance needs a prior authorization. If I had the prescription filled without The prior authorization they would’ve charged me $200! I got the prescription filled at Pick And Save using Good RX and got it filled for $45 -same day as ordered.

Saves me LOT of money

GoodRx has been great!! I'm so glad that one of my doctors had recommended it to me a couple years ago. My insurance company would not cover one of my medications and that is when my doctor asked if I was familiar with GoodRx. It immediately saved me about $70 just on that one medication . I use it with Kroger Pharmacy and I've never had any issues with it. I now use it for many of my medications because it often pays more than the price that my insurance will. I also sign up for notifications from GoodRx because sometimes they will have a price change on one of your meds and it may be even lower . If Kroger rings it up and the it happens to be more than what I am showing , I can just show Kroger the new GoodRx card with the new price, they type in the number on it and they've always honored the price it states! I'm grateful that GoodRx is such a huge help with the cost of my medicines!

Very satisfied

We live in Tennessee and we have good RX gold first of all for 999 per month it’s the best $10 a month we have ever spent because it saves us so much money we don’t even use my husband‘s insurance card through CVS because they were pre-authorizations only want to fill for seven days so you have to make two trips out to the pharmacy with good RX we save more money than our regular insurance co-pay we have never even used our insurance card through General Motors because of the CVS co-pay is so much. For example my husband was traveling to Omaha Nebraska the Hy-Vee pharmacy told them that they would not fill his narcotic because they didn’t except good RX for narcotics I called good RX customer service because Hy-Vee pharmacy is listed on the good RX as taking good RX by again and the good RX gold customer I do not get the free app I paid $10 a month the customerService representative called the Hy-Vee pharmacy herself and straightened out the problem they did a good RX gold for narcotics just not the free good RX appSo we were able to save over $204 on that particular medication thanks to the good RX gold customer service representative

Physician endorsement for Good Rx

I don’t understand how Good Rx negotiates these prices, but I am a physician, a cardiologist, and I tell all my patients to compare Good Rx prices with their $15,000 to 20,000/year health insurance provided prescription benefits. From their feedback and my own experience, Good Rx is more often than not better than even thru their health insurance benefits. Yesterday I demonstrated to a patient that thru Good Rx her Tamiflu Rx would be something like $37 vs over $300 thru CVS pharmacy (the major chains are always the most expensive) even using her health insurance card. I recommend for every Rx and for every refill, even on 90 day chronic medications, I ll compare Good Rx with insurance provided prices. I haven’t NOT used Good Rx for perhaps 4-5 yrs (I.e., I always find it better). The only caveat is that perhaps 10% of the time Walmart pharmacies don’t honor the Good Rx price. They are the only pharmacy that I ve run into this with, who does that occasionally. If you find that is the case when you go to pick it up, show them the price (I take a screen shot of the Good Rx promised price on my phone for proof), and if they don’t honor it, I would just ask for your prescription back and go to the next closest competitor. Good Rx is saving my patients lives affordably! Tell all your friends who don’t have surplus money about this excellent free offer!!!

Fantastic Savings Program and App!!!

I have been purchasing prescriptions (and some OTC drugs, which require a prescription) through Good Rx Gold and Good Rx Coupons, for about 6 or 7 months. I purchased the “Individual” plan, and I consider it as the best $5.99 per month that I have ever spent. To be clear, I have saved over $1300 in drug costs, since I began my subscription. To say that I am “Blown Away” would be putting it mildly!!! The one drawback is that one may have to use several different pharmacies to purchase his/her medications. This is because the drugs have different costs at different pharmacies. HOWEVER, with the amazing app and by inputting the formulary, one knows the cost of the drug (or an excellent approximation), prior to making the purchase. This may be a little inconvenient for the doctor, because to order a prescription electronically, they would first have to share their purchase plan with the patient (so that the patient can determine where would be the best price). However, I have yet to have a doctor to complain about having to do this, because I think that they know how much savings are realized by their patients. BRAVO, GOOD RX and GOOD RX GOLD!!!

Good Rx Review

Oh my words! Incredible with how much you have saved me with my medications! I am generally in the “ donut hole” by March beginning every year and that includes having to pay a $560 out of pocket part d drug deductible. I’m a senior on social security. One of my meds is my “ life line”- amitiza. The cost out of pocket is astronomical but I have to get it thru insurance as it’s still beyond what I can pay with Good Rx ( over $1400 for 3 month supply ). This is the drug that puts me in the donut hole early on. Do you think this med will ever go genetic or the price will come down? Aside from this I am forever grateful for Good Rx as I have saved literally $100’s out of pocket on my other meds. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Even this seems not enough. So so very grateful for lowering my financial stress level in regards to the huge savings you offer on the 5 other drugs I require. I bypass my part d insurance coverage even though I have to pay the monthly premium. I am in hopes that some day the amitiza will go generic and that cost will become more reasonable and affordable. Thank you for all that you do! Good Rx rocks!!!

Laughter is the best medicine

This app makes what can be a harrowing chore actually bearable. It’s easy to find what medications you’re looking for, and the app tells you the cheapest place around to buy it, because GoodRx knows that prohibitive cost is the last thing you need to worry about when you’re dealing with whatever actual issue requires a prescription.

GoodRx makes it easy. And sometimes making it easy is just about reminding us there’s other humans all around.

Please give the employee who writes the mobile app “Update Notes” a big heartfelt THANK-YOU from me, (and also a raise? You should always listen to customer feedback you know!) because gearing up to struggle with all the complications and stress of illness and medications and money, and instead reading the breath of fresh air that is an entertaining GoodRx update log... the spark of joy, the simple reminder that there’s a person on the other end of the impersonal Internet, one who knows I’m a person too, made all the rest conquerable, even if just for one day. And the smallest speck of happiness and humanity can make all the difference “in these trying times.”

Good Rx is a life savor.

I’ve been using Good Rx since around 2014. Thankfully I found them through a caring worker a lot a Local Phamacy. The Pharmacist assistant was belittling me because I was questioning the drastic change in my prescription meds I had been on for years and was told If I couldn’t afford the medication I could feel free to go to another pharmacy. Before leaving which I did and never looked back a nice coworker of theirs heard the discussion and realized I was shocked at how rude the lady behind the register was. Luckily at the time I had good insurance which surprisingly Good RX was cheaper than going through my insurance. Due to health problems I lost that good insurance and Good Rx has been a life savor. I have used it ever since. Especially now that due to my health conditions my insurance has once again been canceled. I can still afford my 5 prescriptions that keep me alive thanks to GoodRx. Just leaving the hospital yet again with the comfort of knowing that the new blood thinner they have prescribed me will not bankrupt me due to no insurance. The Hospital is another story. Thanks from the bottom of my irregular beating heart for being there for me. 🤩🙏🏼😎

What a workout to save money

GoodRx advertises savings on drugs not covered by insurance and their pricing is lower than the cost of the drug to the pharmacy. One has to ask why would a pharmacy sign up to lose money. Big Y Foods pharmacy answer I found out was that they did not sign up with GoodRx. CVS answer was we will not honor the GoodRx price but they referred me to Walgreen who would honor the price but first needed the prescription to verify the price. They tried to have the prescription transferred from a Walmart pharmacy and had a problem but never contacted me. I called and they explained why they did not have the prescription. I told them how to fix the issue and reminded them not to order the prescription until they quoted me a price. I stopped by Walgreen’s pharmacy a few days later and found they ordered me the name brand drug for $1,000. GoodRx quotes Walgreens’ at $177. I declined the name brand drug and they then ordered the generic. While I was there I had the store clerk quickly verify the GoodRx price and he placed the order for the next day. I am puzzled why they couldn’t verify the price of the generic over the phone initially? But perseverance of multiple phone calls, confusion about prescription transfer, filling a prescription incorrectly but the end result was I saved $473. GoodRx is not easy but if you have the time and energy for quite a run around you too can save money with GoodRx.
