GoodRx - What's the catch?

[KameronKato]

I think I'm way behind. I probably should have started recommending GoodRx to my clients a long time ago.

Before I do, am I missing something?

What's the catch?

It's great for an attempt to get lower costs but it's not the best when trying to support local business in general. Most of their Pharmacy options are the big names. So while you'll be supporting the local income of those working at the big name pharmacy you'll be pushing business away from locally owned pharmacies. and I say in general because it's going to depend on where you are and which pharmacies have teamed up with GoodRx.

I like to recommend that people review goodrx and call their local pharmacy to see if they'll try to get close to the goodrx price. most local pharmacies are willing and able to do this. In some cases the local pharmacy may not be able to match it but they can get close enough to still go local.

Also, this should give you a chance to build some relationships with local business owners. Reach out to a few and research how your community would handle it.

I recommend the RXgo product.

I have used several otherRX products over the years - this one is legit.

Very competitive pricing and they promote local Pharmacies . . .

www.RXgo.com/110 is my site.

Let me know if you would like your own site. Cost = $0

This was from a few hours ago. This person is a diabetic that lost her job and health insurance. She uses a 100ml vial of Humalog twice a month. None of the local ACA carriers have Humalog in their formulary. She was paying $130 per script x 2.

She used her RXgo card Friday and only paid $70.43! [ GoodRX was $68.38 - but, doesn't pay a commission ]

Just this script alone is going to save her $119 a month. She has 2 kids - that is a lot of cereal & milk . . .

This doesn't include all her pump supplies that she will also save on . . .

If you all think that you're ok not telling the client that GoodRx is outside their prescription plan, then i wish you all the luck in the world. It takes 30 seconds to say it, and another 30 seconds to document it.

Lawsuits don't just happen from your client. They also happen from family members.

I've never been involved in a lawsuit, but I always document conversations. Years later when someone says I didn't explain something, I pull out my notes. Once I reminded the person of what was said they remembered.

Part of our business is helping people cover their own assets. Think about covering your own as well. It only takes a minute.

I'm pretty sure everyone informs the card holder that it is not insurance and is simply a program that can save them money on Prescriptions . . .

You are way over thinking a simple solution.

Years later when someone says I didn't explain something.....

This is what I call "selective amnesia".

This is what I call "selective amnesia".

What is the ICD-10 code on that?

The catch is that they probably are not HIPAA compliant.

Then they would be in violation of the law... so would the pharmacy the script is filled through.... so would the PBM....

Go spread your lies somewhere else.

People pushing other RX cards love to say that about the competition. Theirs isnt HIPAA compliant but our is. Total BS.
