Santa Monica-based GoodRx is helping its
community by offering residents free online healthcare provider
visits to refill lost medications or receive treatment for a
variety of conditions
GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading prescription savings platform
in the U.S., today announced it is offering free online healthcare
provider visits to California residents impacted by the wildfires
devastating Los Angeles County. Starting today, Angelenos can use
the code LA-GOODRX-CARE to be seen by a licensed medical
provider on GoodRx Care for a variety of conditions.
Hundreds of thousands of Californians have been impacted by the
wildfires, which may prevent them from getting treatment for new or
existing conditions. As a Santa Monica-based company, GoodRx is
dedicated to making sure its community is taken care of. GoodRx
Care can be used regardless of insurance status to get quick,
affordable access to essential medication that may have been
destroyed or left behind during evacuation. During the telehealth
appointment, a licensed medical professional can refill existing
medications and send them to a local pharmacy of the patient’s
choice for pick up.
“As someone directly impacted by the LA fires and co-founder of
a company built in the heart of Santa Monica, it’s important to me
and everyone at GoodRx that we do our part to ensure those affected
are able to access their medications and manage their health during
this time,” said Doug Hirsch, co-founder of GoodRx. “We want anyone
who has been displaced during the fires to be able to get the care
they need, including emergency refills for medications that may
have been damaged or left behind.”
GoodRx Care can also be used for fast and easy treatment of a
variety of conditions, such as the flu, UTIs, and more. In
addition, residents can find quality information from healthcare
professionals on relevant health topics at GoodRx Health.
For Angelenos who have evacuated and are displaced, GoodRx is
offering the following tips:
- Accessing emergency refills: Most insurance companies
allow for emergency refills or a one-time override if you’re early
on your refill.
- Saving on emergency refills: If your insurance company
won’t cover another refill because it’s too soon - or you don’t
want to go through the hassle of the authorization process - you
can use cash to purchase your medication quickly. With GoodRx, you
can save up to 80% on your prescription.
- Switching pharmacies if needed: If the fires have caused
your local pharmacy to delay operations, or you’ve evacuated, you
can transfer your prescription(s) to another pharmacy.
