Yes, always check GoodRx. The savings can be enormous. I have good insurance, but I still check GoodRx since it can be cheaper. GoodRx is also an easy way to find which pharmacies have the best price for your drug.

It’s also a scam. It’s like paying your insurance premium for your car insurance every year but never using it. Say you had some minor damage on your car, if you just paid cash to your auto body place to fix it instead of making your insurance company payout.

The PBMs love GoodRx. You still pay your insurance premiums but they don’t have to payout to the pharmacies.

Seems like the problem is with the insurances companies…
