GoodRxReviews 605

I first heard of www.goodrx.com from my Dr. when she told me I needed medication for pneumonia. I chose the Walmart closest to home, she printed out the discount coupon, and I went to the Walmart pharmacy for the first time. When I got there they told me that these coupons aren't all that great they don't work well, and they don't make much difference, blah, blah, blah... I told him we just printed this page out at my Dr's office within an hour. The pharmacist just argued and said," it doesn't make much difference., they're not good discounts,.". What happened there was my first visit to a Walmart pharmacy cost me 25% more than it should have, a call to the www.goodrx.com customer service, and another trip from the boonies back into town to clear this up. The customer service at wwwgoodrx.com seemed fine. They told me they have a contract with Walmart and that they are obligated to give the discount and will honor their discount program but I had to go back with my receipt and coupon page that my Dr. printed out for me. This is just another example of the many ways Walmart will take advantage of people and rip them off in every way that they can. I will not be back to their pharmacy for any reason. There are plenty of other more legitimate businesses around.

Searched and printed current coupon for 9 pills sumatriptan 100mg tab for zip ******* for cvs... price 25.06. (Not even the cheapest price by the way). I saw the disclaimer so was prepared for a possible price difference but not the 122.00 actual price when called the *******911 customer help number printed on coupon was given spiel and price not guaranteed and when challenged the huge difference they said I called the wrong number and was transferred to *******636 who said not connected to goodrx and transferred me to another company rxcard. No one could explain to me why I kept getting transferred or why the drastic difference in pricing. Unbelievable

I can't say enough good about my Good RX experience. Kaiser wanted to charge $200 per box for Lidocaine 5% patches. I said, heck with that. Out of desperation checked on line and found Good RX. Lowest price was Walmart - printed out coupon and had prescription transferred there. Price has been $70 per box for about 2 years. Had to get new prescription - went to pick up but didn't bring my Good RX coupon. Assumed they had it on file. They couldn't find it and the lady gulped and said the two boxes were now $800. I said - I checked yesterday and Good RX was 70 per box. Home I went - printed out the Good RX coupon and today picked up my usual 2 boxes for $140. Walmart honored the coupon and I'm going to get multiple refills soon as obviously Big Pharma is doing it's best to screw anyone and everyone with these horrendous price increases. That being said, I haven't had to buy anything else as I have Kaiser, but I would have had to just forego the patches at the price without Good RX and that would have been awful.

Just got back from the pharmacy. I took the print out of the price on the script, that I printed out yesterday, and the pharmacy said that the price was 3(tree) times as much. Called GoodRX on the spot and after holding for over 10 minutes on my cell - costing me minuites - GoodRX said that the pharmacy was correct since the dosage was different. This was for a colonoscopy prep. It's powder in a plastic bottle that is a standard.
In addition the pharmacy just flat lied and then made up a bunch of stuff to explain why what they supplied was not what the doctor ordered. If it's generic, fine, I get it, but part of the excuses they gave was that the price quoted from GoodRX was generic.

As an aside this was Wal-Mart - figures. It's also a bit disturbing to watch, while I was on hold, and see one of the pharmacy techs repeatedly stick her fingers in her mouth and then manually count out pills and put them in a bottle to fill a script.

Follow-up: It's interesting that a rebuttal shows up here on the site from GoodRX but you can't see my response to GoodRX with the specifics of what is wrong with their rebuttal. I can only respond to them with a private message.

It would appear that someone doesn't want the entire exchange to be seen!

I needed several kinds of eye drops for cataract surgery. I priced them at Wall-mart and they came to about $500. I heard about GoodRx and checked prices there. (Even Wal-mart was cheaper on GoodRx than what they had quoted me as a walk-in.) I found that a nearby Kroger was the cheapest, had the Dr. call in the prescriptions, and I printed out the GoodRx coupons. When I walked in I would have bet they would not work. BUT I was wrong. The store quickly and cheerfully took the coupons and the eye drops cost me only $380. That is still too much, but a huge savings. I am impressed! I now have the Android AP also.

I started a new job and my health insurance hadn't kicked in yet. I went to pick up my wife's medication and the cost was $530. I never realized how much the out of pocket cost was because my old insurance covered it. I did some research and found goodrx. I thought it must be a scam but what would I have to lose? I didn't have to fill out any personal info and there didn't seem to be any catch. I gave the pharmacy the coupon and it brought the cost down to $40. I couldn't believe it. I'm totally blown away. Goodrx saved me $490!

I've been using GoodRx coupons for my old dogs' pet medications at my local Kroger pharmacy for about a year, now with no problems. The other day, however, the pharmacist refused to honor the coupon price. The cashier (tech?) informed me it was the pharmacist's prerogative to honor it, or not.

The GoodRx website states that pharmacies are contractually obligated to honor the discounted price. - turns out, this is not the case. I called the number on the coupon and talked to a representative from a company called Catamaran - which also, evidently, handles GoodRx issues. He said that if the medication is a controlled substance, the pharmacist is not required to honor the coupon price. GoodRx should put this information on their website and not include pharmacies that refuse to honor the discount for these medications.

I will be taking by business to a different pharmacy, in the future.

I printed a coupon for Lumigan which was supposed to save me about $100. When I got to Walgreens, they didn't honor the coupon because it is for a generic brand, which by the way, has not been made yet. So the pharmacist ran the coupon through to see if it would work, and the price with the coupon came to $156 which was more than I pay without a coupon. My opinion of this site is, don't use it. IT IS A SCAM! I gave it one start, because I had to pick one.

This website literally has lifted the biggest weight off of my shoulders. I currently do not have health insurance so therefore my (typically free) medicine for my epilepsy would cost me $380 for a 90 day supply for the generic. Remember this is the first time I had ever attempted using this website. I showed my pharmacist the coupon, and even to her surprise, it worked. Not even a ten minute transaction saved me over $350. I initially payed $15 and some change for a 90 day supply of my medicine thanks to this website!

While saving money may be good for customers, they are pure evil for which ever pharmacy you choose to go to, which is why some pharmacies have decided to not except them anymor. These discount cards interrupt how pharmacies run their busines. How this works is say a prescription cost $500, you bring this coupon in and lowers it to $100, sweet right, wrong! The pharmacy then looses about 400 dollars on the med because unlike true insurance, these discount cards give little to no reimbursement back on the med that the pharmacy paid to get. It's like working hard for two weeks to get that pay check and your boss says "I have this discount card so I only have to pay you 10% of what I pay you normally, but you've been working here for years saving money so I know you'll be fine". So when you submit this card you're causing that pharmacy to loose money which then means they have to cut staffing to reflect that, which then means an over worked pharmacy tech looses their job, but hey anything to save yourself a couple of dollars right?
