GoodRx is basically a price-comparison and coupon service for prescription drugs. It doesn’t sell medicine and it’s not insurance — it helps you find the lowest cash price at nearby pharmacies.

Here’s how it works step-by-step:

🧾 1. You Search for a Prescription

You go to GoodRx.com or the GoodRx app and type in:

The drug name (for example: amoxicillin) The dosage Your ZIP code

GoodRx then checks prices at local pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger, Costco, etc.

💰 2. You See the Prices at Different Pharmacies

You’ll see a list showing:

Each pharmacy The cash price The GoodRx discounted price

Sometimes the difference is huge — a $200 drug might show as $15 with GoodRx.

🏷 3. You Use the Coupon at the Pharmacy

You choose the pharmacy with the best price and show them the GoodRx coupon (on your phone or printed).

The pharmacist enters:

GoodRx’s BIN number Group number Member ID (on the coupon)

That applies the discount instantly.

No insurance required.

🏥 4. You Pay the Discounted Cash Price

You pay the GoodRx price instead of the pharmacy’s regular cash price.

You cannot combine GoodRx with insurance — you use one or the other.

🧠 Why Pharmacies Accept It

GoodRx partners with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).

When you use a coupon:

The pharmacy gives you the lower price The PBM reimburses the pharmacy The drug manufacturer and pharmacy both still make money

🧩 Why Prices Vary So Much

Drug pricing in the U.S. is negotiated behind the scenes between:

Manufacturers Pharmacies PBMs

GoodRx exposes those hidden negotiated prices to consumers.

🏦 Who Pays for GoodRx?

GoodRx makes money when you use a coupon — the PBM pays them a referral fee for each transaction.
