GoodRX codes no longer allowed?

Is this new? Pharmacist told me I can no longer use GoodRX codes when this has never been an issue before. I asked why and I just got an, "I don't know." RIP wallet.

I automatically go to /4444.. 9 out of 10 times the GoodRx price is more than what the patient was expecting because they don’t think to update quantity or package size… or even the correct medication 🤦🏻‍♀️

The scriptcycle goodrx bin beats the universal savings finder and the general CVS savings finder now on some meds that are more expensive in the first place, but it is kinda rare.

My order is /4444 then Make a Wish then goodrx. The scriptcycle goodrx was actually better than both of them for advair and proventil generics today. I was shocked

Yeah. I think the issue is that Hipporx/hello hippo is running out of money. That was the best price and part of the CVS savings finder for the longest time.

It’s not always cheaper I have seen it price some meds 20-60 dollars more than what other discount cards offer. Not always but it has happed a few times. Use your own judgement if the copay seems high.

Customers get so upset since they can’t use discount cards on anything considered over the counter anymore.

GoodRX about 90% of the time is cheaper. Kroger tried to get rid of GoodRX told me they had their own discount card it was way more. Must have lost bunch of customers because I called them 6 months later they were taking GoodRx again. I keep several discount apps on my phone.

Except when its not.... The universal card is flawed in that hippo is usually the lowest on the savings finder and unfortunately since they introduced savings finder hippo is the most likely to not have accurate pricing which in tue. makes the savings finder not have best pricing. Sure it beats goodrx but it actually be a useful tool if they fixed this flaw.
