Prescription Savings Programs – GoodRX & PrudentRx
Managing prescription costs can be challenging — but Montgomery County ESC offers options to help you save.
GoodRx — Save on Everyday Prescriptions
GoodRx helps you find the lowest prices for prescriptions at local pharmacies. It’s free to use and available online or as a mobile app.
How it Works:
- Visit www.GoodRx.com or download the free GoodRx app.
- Enter your prescription name and click “Find the Lowest Price”.
- Compare prices at local pharmacies.
- Print the coupon or display it on your phone.
- Show the coupon to your pharmacist to save.
Note: GoodRx does not use your insurance. If you want your out-of-pocket costs to count toward your deductible, confirm your prescription is covered under your plan formulary and submit your receipt directly to UnitedHealthcare.
PrudentRx — $0 Specialty Medications (PPO Members Only)
If you take specialty medications for chronic or complex conditions (such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or cancer), costs can add up quickly. The PrudentRx Copay Program can reduce your out-of-pocket costs to $0 for specialty medications on the program’s Specialty Drug List.
How It Works:
- PrudentRx partners with manufacturers to secure copay assistance for your medication.
- Once enrolled, PrudentRx manages your enrollment and renewals.
- Even if no copay card is available, your cost is $0 while enrolled.
Getting Started:
- If you currently take a specialty medication, call PrudentRx at 1-800-578-4403 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. EST) to enroll — it takes about 10 minutes.
- If you don’t currently take a specialty medication but are prescribed one in the future, you can enroll at any time.
- Participation is voluntary, but not enrolling may result in higher out-of-pocket costs.
