How BuzzRx Saves You Money

BuzzRx free prescription savings cards can be used at your local pharmacy on new prescriptions or prescription refills. 

The average discount is 60% per prescription, with savings up to 80%. Last year, members who filled an average of one script per month saved $845 annually! Discounts vary based on several factors, including whether the medication is brand-name or generic, the pharmacy and its location, and supply and demand for the medication. 

Once you are at the pharmacy of your choice, present the pharmacists with the BuzzRx Prescription Discount Card on the app. From there, your pharmacist can compare the BuzzRx discount with your insurance copay cost to determine which is lower.

Frequently Asked Questions About BuzzRx

Is BuzzRx the Same as GoodRx?

While there are some notable similarities between the BuzzRx and GoodRx, there are significant differences between them both. Both BuzzRx and GoodRx are focused on making communities healthier by making medicines more affordable. 

Their approaches vary, however. BuzzRx is the only prescription discount card company that donates to its nonprofit partners year-round. A donation is made at no cost to the cardholder every time someone saves using a card cobranded with the nonprofit partner. To date, BuzzRx has donated over 7 million dollars to Make-A-Wish®, the ASPCA®, the National Kidney Foundation®, and 15 regional food banks in some of the most food-insecure areas of the U.S. BuzzRx has had charitable programs since its inception. 

GoodRx, on the other hand, more recently launched GoodRx Helps to help provide prescription drugs to Americans in need. In addition, GoodRx has an employee-driven donation program called Good to Give, where they donate $25,000 to causes chosen by employees that reflect their interests and passions.
