How to Use GoodRx to Check Prescription Prices

GoodRx Shows Prescription Prices After the PBM Discount Has Been Applied.

If You Have Health Insurance and Are on an HSA Plan, the GoodRX Price May Not Be Your Exact Price (since the discount may be run through a different PBM than yours), But It Will Be in the Ballpark.

For a Brand Name Medication, the Ballpark Price Will Likely Be $200, $300 or $400+ Per Month.

When a Doctor Prescribes You a Medication, Look It Up on the GoodRx App While Still in the Examining Room.

Show the Price to the Doctor and If It is Too Expensive For You, Ask "Can We Look at Some Other Options. This One Costs Too Much."

On the GoodRx App You Can Search by Medical Condition (e.g. Diabetes) or Symptom (e.g. Pain) and the App Will List the Most Common Categories of Medications in Descending Order.

Pick the Top Category and the App Will Show Medications in that Category Along with Their Prices. Find a Medication that You Can Afford and Ask the Doctor if That One Will a Suitable Replacement.
