How Not to Get Gouged at the Pharmacy: GoodRx
Review: Different pharmacies charge different prices for the same drugs. And the money you’re throwing away can be HUGE!
How much money could be slipping through your fingers? Well, the average American’s annual prescription drug tab is $1,370. If you have insurance, you may only end up paying about $185 of that. But what if your insurance company moves one of your meds on to a no-pay list? Or what if you don’t have health insurance and you don’t realize you’re overpaying hundreds of dollars a month for the meds you need to keep your chronic health condition under control? Or what if a drug maker astronomically spikes the price of a prescription medication you’ve been on for years? (Yeah, I’m talking about YOU, asthma inhaler manufacturer!)
GoodRx collects prices and discounts from more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies and has millions of users each month. This website lets you type in the name of your medication, select your dosage and quantity of tablets, type in your zip code, click on a FIND THE LOWEST PRICE button, and compare three different prices for the drug—a cash price, a club price and a GoodRx coupon price—at different pharmacies near you.
Today, we let you know how well GoodRx works based on three criteria:
• Is it effective?
• Is it easy to use?
• Is it inexpensive?
After listening to this episode, be sure to check out our show notes at https://painopolis.com/painopolis-reviews-goodrx/. You’ll find a link to GoodRx, plus more information to help you find the best prescription drug prices around.
