GoodRx
A discount program for prescription medications
Nearly 90% of all adults over the age of 65 take some type of prescription medication. With older adults also likely to have chronic conditions like high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes, it's not uncommon for a senior to take four or more prescription drugs regularly. Because drug prices are unregulated in the US and prices can vary widely from pharmacy to pharmacy, many are unknowingly paying a premium for not shopping around.
So how can you tell if you’re getting the best prescription price available? GoodRx is a free prescription discount program that helps you to find the best possible prescription drug prices (with or without insurance) in your area. To do this, GoodRx negotiates prices directly with pharmacy purchasing groups which allows them to offer discounts or coupons that can save up to 80% off of your prescription costs (in some cases even lower than your co-pay).
Most major pharmacies participate in the GoodRx program including Walgreens, CVS, Costco, Rite Aid, Walmart, and others. Supplements and over-the-counter medications won’t qualify for a discount (unless they’re prescribed), however, the app does provide local pricing so that you can comparison shop for those items as well. GoodRx is available for both iOS and Android platforms (or you can order a discount card from the company). It's easy to use and can provide significant savings even with a good insurance plan.
