Pick Up Your Medications

Where the facility offers it, Pick Up Your Medications lists the patient's prescriptions with GoodRx prices at pharmacies near the facility. A GoodRx coupon can cost less than an insurance co-pay.

The patient selects their insurance type and whether they have reached their deductible, so the estimates reflect their coverage. Each pharmacy tab displays an estimated total, and each prescription displays its coupon price. Where insurance is likely to cost less, the prescription displays Insurance provides the best price instead.

Below the list, Your GoodRx Coupon displays the coupon details for the selected pharmacy, ready to present at the pharmacy. The coupon is not insurance, and it cannot be used with Medicare, Medicaid or other government-funded programs.
