Approved users will now be able to select an
Affirm payment plan for select medications directly on the GoodRx
platform
GoodRx (NASDAQ: GDRX), the leading prescription savings platform
in the U.S., today announced consumers will soon be able to use
Affirm to pay over time for select medications at participating
retail pharmacies. This adds a convenient way for consumers to pay
for their medications directly on the GoodRx platform.
GoodRx is launching this program with its partner pharmacies,
including Hy-Vee, a grocery retailer with a network of more than
275 retail pharmacies. Together, the companies are ensuring a
seamless ecommerce experience for consumers. As an example, when a
person types their medication into GoodRx and selects Hy-Vee as
their preferred pharmacy, the system will validate their
prescription, check for medication inventory, and show the option
to pay over time with Affirm. If approved, consumers will be able
to choose from customized monthly payment options before submitting
their prescription order and picking up their prescription at their
local Hy-Vee location.
As is always true with Affirm, consumers will only be approved
for financing Affirm believes can and will be repaid responsibly,
and Affirm will not charge any late or hidden fees.
“We are always looking for new ways to bring affordability and
ease-of-use to patients, doctors and front-line pharmacy staff,”
said Scott Wagner, Interim CEO at GoodRx. “Through this new
technology solution, we’re offering a unique capability that will
help people access their medications - whether it’s helping them
reach a deductible or providing great financial flexibility and
control. It’s part of our broader e-commerce strategy to make the
entire process much simpler, certainly for patients but also for
retail pharmacies.”
“As a provider, we are excited to work with GoodRx to offer this
new payment solution to Hy-Vee Pharmacy patients as we continue
efforts to remove healthcare barriers and improve medication
adherence,” said Angie Nelson, Hy-Vee’s senior vice president of
pharmacy. “We believe that this new flexible payment model offered
through GoodRx will lead to better health outcomes for our
patients.”
This program will start rolling out in the coming months.
