How does GoodRx Gold work with Medicare?

GoodRx Gold cannot be combined with any insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid.  So it can be used instead of your Part D coverage if the co-payment is cheaper under the GoodRx Gold.   You need to do a drug cost search on each of your drugs to see if the GoodRx Goldis cheaper.  If you fall into the doughnut hole in the past, this can be a way to possibly prevent falling into the doughnut hole in the future.  If you use the GoodRX Gold for your drugs where the GoodRX Gold co-payment is cheaper or close to the same as your Part D co-payment, those drug cost do not count toward your True Out of Pocket Cost that triggers the doughnut hole.   If you have Medicare Part D and want to take advantage of your medication’s price through GoodRx Gold, just tell your pharmacist you want to pay in cash and then present your GoodRx Gold card to get your discounted price.
