Using GoodRx, $120 for 90 day supply of 3 generics. Using insurance, $180 for 3 generics 30 day supply.

  Using GoodRx is still “using insurance”, isn’t it? My insurer offers 90 day supplies with a cheaper copay via Express Scripts already. (Their customer service blows, though.)

    >cheaper copay I’m not talking about copays. My insurance doesn’t have a coppay until I hit the deductible. I’m paying cash for the drugs.

      Copay, coinsurance, deductible, whatever. If you're paying cash outside of insurance coverage, it's not counting towards the deductible or annual out-of-pocket max, which screws you if you have significant other healthcare costs.

        I have a $7900 deductible.
        • ceejayoz 7y ago
          Yeah, so imagine spending $3k on GoodRx prescriptions, then winding up in the hospital and finding out you've still got all $7900 of it left to cover before insurance kicks in.

  Using GoodRx, $120 for 90 day supply of 3 generics. Using insurance, $180 for 3 generics 30 day supply. That's pretty normal, even with traditional insurance, and has been for at least 20 years. For a medicine I take, it's $28 for a 30-day supply, and $25 for a 90-day supply. The catch is that the non-SV insurance companies usually require that you get the 90-day supply by mail. Perhaps this is where GoodRx has an advantage.
