GoodRx - What's the catch?

[myinsurebiz]

I don't think anyone answered the actual question, but if they did, I apologize for the duplicate answer.

The catch is that none of it goes toward any of the deductibles, donut hole, or catastrophic coverage. In fact if they use GoodRx, it won't show up on Medicare.gov either.

So go ahead and tell your clients about GoodRx, HoneyBee Health, the plans that pay you a referral fee, whatever. But be sure to let them know that none of it "counts" toward their drug plan or you could be opening yourself up to a lawsuit.

And be sure to document that you did.

If you don't run any script thru your Part D - it doesn't show up.

Just give them access to the Discount Drug Card - don't "advise" . . .

Advising is implied when you have a license.

My concern is HIPAA compliance.

My understanding is that Good does NOT comply and makes most of it's money selling information about what prescriptions the card user is using.

Be sure to explain that to anybody you give the card I'd suggest.

I use RXGold - they pride themselves on being HIPAA compliant.

This is my affiliate link Prescription Discount Card Program Home | RxPrime - they pay something like a buck a prescription and have a training call every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

$1 per script isn't worth the effort.

On the HIPPA - the PBM, the Marketing agency nor the Agent / Rep handing out the cards have ZERO knowledge of the client's name or personal info.

Prices way to high - ,,,.

That was my initial impression. I looked up four medications. One was a bit cheaper, the other three were significantly higher than goodrx. I also did not care for the way it just showed 3 pharmacies, it didn't allow for making a judgement as to whether a price differential from your preferred pharmacy was worth the trouble of a trip, change, etc.

I would have to go back and look at the 4 items again to see if this is real, but I am left with the impression there was a slant (at least in my zip) toward WalMart as the low cost leader.

I decided not to say anything, but when I see someone else expressing that judgement, I can certainly second it.

I am so glad we have this thread where folks can hype their "My card can beat up your card" contributions.
