I just found the cheapest price for my prescription on GoodRX was through GeniusRX. Price is crazy low. Before I place an order I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about GeniusRX or has any experience with them.
That is good, but the customer STILL has to ask, and since the law is only 3 yrs old, I'll be a lot of pharmacists have the old habit of charging not the cheapest price and not volunteering and solution.
Our Costco refused to take GoodRx because we had a drug plan. They would take it if we didn't have a drug plan, so we paid extra for the drug because we had a plan
Seems worse than the gag order !
Many docs want to send the prescription straight to your druggist electronically. I have to ask for a paper prescription so I can shop it around. It is also extra work for the doc, so they don't like paper prescriptionsI never understood why people do not shop prescriptions just like they do other items.................
Not at my Costco in WA. They have my Medicare number on file and will not allow me to buy drugs with GoodRx for myself, though I buy drugs for my dog there with GoodRx.You can use Goodrx INSTEAD OF your Medicare drug plan, but not WITH it. I do this all the time. My local Costco has a real wizard of a young man who always figures out the cheapest way.........
Thanks for the explanation regarding Costco. I'll just do business elsewhere for my "star" drugs..........
Costco doesn’t accept Goodrx for “star” drugs because Medicare actually penalizes the pharmacy, through fees and charge backs via the insurance company when patients aren’t compliant on said star drugs. .......
Don't be fooled by the false choice. The world is 7+ billion people. No one ever said that we have to be chumps and pay for all the research for the whole world. And, in fact, we don't. Big Pharma spends more on advertising than research and a lot of the actual research is funded by the US government, anyway.

Our physicians will send the prescription to any pharmacy that we request. More than once we have called the office and asked that the repeat prescription be re-sent to another pharmacy because of location or price. All it takes is a phone call.
I just have prescriptions sent electronically to my CVS pharmacy. If I want to purchase from somewhere else, such as Giant or Wegmans, I just call them and ask them to transfer the prescription from CVS. They take care of it. With one prescription from GoodRx, I was able to request it from them by mail order and filled out the request online. I had it within a week.
OK, I give up. What's a "star" drug?
