“Inflation not only impacts our pockets but can have serious
implications on health,” said Rick Gates, chief pharmacy officer,
Walgreens. “Over one-third of Americans have avoided a prescription
refill to reduce costs and with over 131 million Americans taking
at least one prescription medication, this is very concerning. That
is why we have launched Walgreens Rx Savings Finder – to empower
our customers with transparent prescription costs and help them
save money on medications.”
The Walgreens Rx Savings Finder tool helps to alleviate cost
concerns for patients by offering savings on thousands of
medications as well as providing transparent pricing before they
reach the checkout counter. Available online at
Walgreens.RxSense.com, the tool is available to all Walgreens
customers for free, with no monthly subscription or yearly
membership needed.
The Walgreens Rx Savings Finder tool is available to all
Walgreens customers at no cost. Patients can access the discount
card prices by text message or email, which can be presented to a
Walgreens pharmacy team member so the savings can be applied to the
price of their prescription medications. With Rx Savings Finder,
customers can feel confident they are making informed decisions at
the pharmacy counter for themselves and their families.
By consolidating the search process across multiple discount
card websites, Walgreens not only saves our patients valuable time
and reduces the cost of vital medications, but also takes an
important step in alleviating the workload of our pharmacists.
"At Walgreens, we are committed to empowering customers to find
lower deals at Walgreens while unlocking the full potential of our
pharmacists. The response to our pilot program has been
overwhelmingly positive, with both customers and our dedicated
pharmacy staff reporting significant time and cost savings. One
striking instance involves a pharmacist’s recent account where our
Rx Savings Finder tool helped a customer save over $75 on their
prescriptions during a single visit,” said Rick Gates. “This tool
is just one facet of our evolving suite of pharmacy solutions. Our
digital innovations, spanning telepharmacy, micro-fulfillment, and
cutting-edge technologies, align with the evolving needs of
patients and pharmacists. Beyond the conventional role of
medication dispensing, our vision encompasses fostering meaningful
patient connections, looking at their holistic health profiles, and
collaborating with healthcare partners for a more comprehensive and
community-centric approach to healthcare.”
Rx Savings Finder is now available at Walgreens pharmacies
nationwide. For more information on the Walgreens Rx Savings Finder
tool and how it can help you save on your prescription medications,
