FAQs
Why do pharmacists not like GoodRx? ›
“Pharmacies hate GoodRx's system since they lose money from the potential profit, they would have made from cash paying customers and then also lose money when they pay a fee for selling to a patient who might have used their pharmacy anyway,” says Dr. Fein.
Is GoodRx always accurate? ›The prices listed on GoodRx Gold are generally very accurate, and issues are rare.
What is the downside of using GoodRx? ›Predictability. GoodRx's prices “fluctuate frequently — daily, weekly or monthly” the company's website says. So it might be hard to predict what you'll pay and where you'll have to go for your medications from month to month.
What's the catch in using GoodRx? ›Keep in mind that you cannot use GoodRx and insurance at the same time. However, you can use GoodRx instead of insurance or government-funded programs, such as Medicare or Medicaid, to pay for your prescription medications. GoodRx is not insurance.
Is there a lawsuit against GoodRx? ›THE LAWSUIT: A class action securities lawsuit was filed against GoodRx Holdings, Inc. that seeks to recover losses of shareholders who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud between September 23, 2022 and November 8, 2022.
Is anything better than GoodRx? ›Bottom Line. SingleCare and GoodRx make prescription drug prices more affordable for consumers. Both companies have identical aims, but SingleCare generally offers lower pricing and free delivery.

How many times can you use GoodRx for a prescription? ›GoodRx coupons represent prices provided by PBMs. Unlike manufacturer copay cards, GoodRx coupons have no eligibility requirements, no activation step, and no restrictions on how many times the coupon can be used.
Who pays the difference when using GoodRx? ›When you use a GoodRx coupon or discount, you're choosing to pay the cash price rather than the insurance price for your medication.

Does GoodRx really save you money on prescriptions? ›High-deductible health plans that require patients to pay more out of pocket before coverage kicks in are unfortunately becoming more common, leaving many people exposed to the high cash prices of their prescription drugs. Luckily, a GoodRx coupon can help you save—almost $2,000 per prescription in some cases.
