GoodRx - What's the catch?

[Stephanie F]

I use GoodRx personally and as a customer it is a godsend for me. I have one Rx that isn’t covered by my insurance at all and out of pocket for my particular script is almost $200 depending on which pharmacy in town has it in stock. With GoodRx it’s often less than $50

It's getting more complicated...I heard that GoodRx started to work with GoHealth, which means if you refer your clients to GoodRx then they may allow GoHealth to go market your clients...

Yep, this is what I've been trying to tell everyone.

So is that one of the reasons I’m suddenly inundated with marketing emails about Glic rx as an alternative to GoodRx? It surprised me that GoodRx was being challenged so aggressively.

None is innocent but it could be a good opportunity for Glic Rx to grow.

Hi Chazm...is RXgo paying a downline?

I believe so, I got the contract a year ago and haven’t looked at it. I just recently got 3 people under me. I think you can take a higher contract if you don’t want a downline.

I decided to go with GlicRX after comparing prices on the drugs I checked, GlicRX beat RXGO 2/3 of the time. Doesn't pay as well, but in my mind a better deal. When I went to GoodrRX to compare against GoodRX, this ad was in the middle of the page.

Besides giving money to GoodRX, you also give them prospects(your clients). I had an appointment with a couple of clients who are sisters who live together, and I had told them to get GoodRX cards several years ago. The night before, the older sister called me and told me that her sister got talked into taking a MA plan over the phone and wanted me to come by and help her.

Turns out it was through GoHealth. I briefly started to tell her the difference between her Med Supp and the MA. When I mentioned copays, networks and she'd have to change doctors, she said they didn't tell her any of that. She also said she had called GoHealth back to cancel it and they just kept transferring her and not cancelling it. I told her not to worry because I want to move you to a different PDP, and that will automatically cancel it out.

Last year I told her to call Humana and let them know that she doesn't want the $61 plan, but wants to be on the Walmart plan. She didn't call, so she's been paying for that expensive plan and she takes 2 Tier 1 generics. So she's going to save $ 50 a month on her PDP.

This lady was screwed twice by MA and PDP while CMS watches. These companies are confusing the hell out of people and taking advantage of them.

Caveat, not an agent.

I think that is a secondary reason.

My guess is that the primary reason is money for everybody involved.

(And as I have stated before, I don't see the two GoodRx alternatives being promoted by FMO's as consumer friendly as either GoodRX or RXGO. But, I am not an agent and I don't see the vast range of meds your clients have to buy during the year.)
