Saline and Walgreen's Pharmacy

Rite Aid accepted Good Rx for Sodium Chloride Solution. The final charge was about $15.

Harry where do you get the GoodRx card? Are these the cards that you find in the doctors offices? I am sorry I am so ignorant.

yes you can use the cards you get at the dr. office or best is to go online and carefully enter the name of your drug and amounts etc. and then check the price at pharmacies in your area. A card will be on that page with a bin number a group number etc and that is what the pharmacy needs - they will take that info over the phone but will need all 4 numbers: https://www.goodrx.com/sodium-chloride?form=vial&dosage=4ml-of-3%25&quantity=60&label_override=sodium-chloride
The web site is goodrx.com

I think you go to goodrx.com and create an account and they mail you a card with
your special number on it. Maybe doctor offices have them, but in any case, you
have to associate the card number with your name.

Thank you

I read somewhere (might have been the AARP news magazine that gets mailed to the house) that pharmacies have to process it through insurance first unless the customer tells them up front to use GoodRx or other discount plans. If they do use your insurance you can tell them to reprocess using your discount such as GoodRx

Thanks. Will do.

Just curious, who pays for GoodRx? If the card is free to the consumer, who then pays a discounted amount for the prescription, who pays GoodRx?

Toni,
It's a little complicated. Read up on Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)
When you use the card, the pharmacy pays a fee to the PBM, who splits it
with GoodRx.

I have only good things to say about Walgreens. The poor pharmacists are truly overworked, and the pharmacists at my local Walgreens are angels.
