GoodRx Holdings, Inc. is an American healthcare company that operates a telemedicine platform and a free-to-use website and mobile app that track prescription drug prices in the United States and provide free drug coupons for discounts on medications. GoodRx checks more than 75,000 pharmacies in the United States
***
Good Rx makes money by perpetuating the, artificially set, high sticker prices of medications and receiving a portion of Pharmacy Benefits Manager [PBM] fees.
How it Works
GoodRx taps into PBM network for their “discounts” off of sticker price (e.g. Express Scripts, Optum Rx, Navitus … etc)
Consumer pays the newly “discounted” drug price.
Pharmacy pays PBM fee.
PBM pays GoodRx portion of the fee.
Good Rx adjusted EBITDA in 2019: $160 Million
Good Rx 2020 revenue is up 48% first half of 2020 – $257M

Opinion:
This is not market value.
This is another hand in the cookie jar keeping healthcare prices artificially high.
The consumer is the one ultimately harmed.
