At least 1 out of 5 prescriptions were cheaper through Amazon Pharmacy or GoodRx discount card programs compared with what patients actually paid out of pocket.
Some programs may require a monthly prescription fee, which could end up equaling or exceeding the cost that someone might pay with insurance.
Still, he noted that online pharmacy discount programs can provide significant cost savings, particularly for uninsured people, because the companies often negotiate directly with drugmakers and sell medications to customers at the cost that they paid for them in addition to a small markup.“The real potential benefit of these platforms is in their ability to negotiate better prices,” Koelzer said.
Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at KFF, said these online discount programs can provide “terrific deals” on generic drugs for some patients, although they are unlikely to offer much for people who have good insurance coverage.
