We're moving to the GoodRX Gold family plan @ $$9.99/mo. anyway, but there's a question. I've been getting regular emails that quote special prices... as:
30 days supply of the prescription XZY for the special price of $8.00, vs. recommended retail price of $40.00.
So, now.. after joining the Gold plan, will I always get XYZ for the lower price that GoodRX is offering, or was that just a special price to get me to sign up.... and, after I signed up the price might be $14.00?
In other words... after I sign up, do I still have to go to the GoodRX site, to print out a coupon for a lower price... one that may just be available for that one month?

If that sounds confusing, consider your grocery store. It has low regular prices for Dawn Soap, but there's a newspaper ad with a coupon for $2. If you buy without the coupon, you'll pay full price.
Would I have to keep checking online for the lowest price coupon every time I refill, or would the plan give me the advertised price? Not exactly easy when the family has multiple prescriptions. I wouldn't like it if I paid for the plan, only to find out that the guy next to me, without a plan, was paying less. If it were a matter of a few dollars, no problem, but when the price is in the hundreds, yeah.... a problem.
My pharmacist demurred, and said no prices are guaranteed, but that ducked the question. (I am aware that prices may change from time to time.)
Thanks...
