Complaint: 21446908
I am rejecting this response because: it has been an unreasonable amount of time to be treated for the health issue in question. At no time did they recommend seeing a provider in person. The delay was their response time in getting my prescription sent to a pharmacy I could order from. It was over 24 hours from my online consult until respondednto my plea for my prescription to be sent to a particular pharmacy to fill, delaying my treatment that was recommended. This visit was worthless, not worth $39 that I was charged. A refund is requested.
Sincerely,

On 03/08/2024 I was having a pretty serious skin condition that I needed assistance gettting a prescription for the skin condition but I wanted to make sure I could get the prescription through a virtual visit by a clinician through GoodRx as I saw on their website that they offered virtual check *** through the gold membership plan. I enrolled in the membership for $9.99 then proceeded to have my consultation for $19. For whatever reason I put in the wrong category in for the visit and on the last step after putting my information in the app stated that I would get a call or a chat with a provider when they were ready. Pretty soon after that I got a chat that opened up from *****************************-L:ee telling me I put in the wrong category for what the medicine was and for the condition I had and that I actually to cancel the consultation and start over. I replied asking if I was going to be refunded to which it took her a very long time to respond and replied with a nasty attitude to cancel the request to which I tried to do so on the website and it wouldnt let me because it stated it was waiting on the provider. Still havent received my refund for $19. Overall reall a horrible experience to say the least.Business Response

Transaction : Prescription pick up on 2/22/24 Amount charged $127.86 suppose to be $108.08 with Gold GoodRX coupon.Placed the new prescription on Feb. 20 using Gold GoodRX to fill prescription. Pharmacy said they used the coupon info bin etc.. but the price came back higher. Contacted GoodRX customer service 3 times. First time on Feb 21, ******* did nothing, 2nd time on Feb 21, ******* tried but blamed it on the outage. On Feb 22, the supervisor said I had the correct price and said she would call them and fix it. Never received a call back. I had to pick up the prescription since my dog needed it. Posted to the ** page as a comment. No response. This is bait and switch. I expect them to honor the price they post.Business Response

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach us at **************************************.

GoodRX has and had no access to my health records or health information submitted. They have apparently been involved in lawsuits regarding privacy matters in the past. Anyway, I requested a visit and there was not an option to request a woman female healthcare provider. So when I finally was able to speak with someone (2-3 days after signing up with an account) and I requested a female practitioner, they retaliated by stating my account information didn't match up with my insurance card information. I let them know I had another female preferred name (that is obviously easier to pronounce). They refused to update the account information in spite of having the ability to do so.I am assuming they are involved in many lawsuits right now, hurting for money, and cutting any patients who they have to pay their customer support reps even more pennies, to assist. I am beginning to think its best to boycott any and all companies who utilize a healthcare call center based in *****. The one I just spoke with had the audacity to fake a hispanic accent! *************************************************************************-How-do-I-update-a-member-s-name-or-birthdate#:~:text=On%20the%20Edit%20Profile%20page,process%20your%20GoodRx%20Gold%20card.I paid no money but they put many fake pending charges and I let them know that someone had been stealing/using my Medi-************* without my permission (Soc# ending in 3288) so I needed to utilize telehealth services. They in turn, delayed every visit and message. I have gone ahead and deactivated the membership, and requested an account deletion.Business Response

I helped my wife ******* set up an account with ******************** to help with the costs of a specific prescription every month. We paid for a full year of their Gold plan back in September. As of February 1st, we started a new health insurance plan with IBX which enables her to get this prescription at even a much lower cost than what she was getting from this GoodRx Gold plan. We are asking for a refund of the unused portion which is easily half of the total cost that was paid out. The original total cost for the year was $93.01, which was charged back on 9/19/23. The last time we used their plan was in January, so we only used this plan for the months of September-January. I am also filing formal complaints against this company with the ** ************************ on Fraud. My wife is disabled as am I and we are tired of companies taking advantage of people with disabilities.Business Response

While Im grateful for GoodRX refunding our money, I am rejecting their response, only so I can send this message.The GoodRX response, clearly showed that whomever is dealing with this complaint, didn't understand what I clearly stated in my original statement. I wasnt asking for a full refund, but only the portion I was not going to be using because my new health insurance, has the one medications copay, coming in with a much lower cost than I was getting with using the GoodRx Gold plan. It clearly wouldnt make sense to continue to have the plan, if I knew I wasnt going to be using it. In all fairness, refunding the unused portion makes sense. Who would keep their account open when they knew they wouldnt use it?? And the reason you all gave, didnt make sense.
So, you can closed this complaint after reading my response.

I paid Good RX in 2023 about $119.88 for the year. On a monthly basis, it was $9.99 per month. I have GoodRX Gold. I asked them to supply me with paperwork showing the monthly amount I paid for 2023. They had done this for me before with no problem. Well, this time the **************** Rep said she emailed the information to me and I never received it. So I called back and asked to speak to a Supervisor. She said she emailed me and I stayed on the phone but she said to wait to the next day. I Never received the information I requested. I requested this last week on Monday, January 29, 2024. I am so disgusted with no one being able to send me an email that I need in an urgent way. I am a Senior Citizen and I need this information immediately to get food stamps. Obviously, they do not care. I have spent over an hour each time on the phone to get this accomplished and they still have not complied. So, I had to write you to try to get the information I so desperately need.Business Response

I signed up for a GoodRX gold trial on 1/31/24, as I am low income and it was supposed to save me a substantial amount on my prescription. However it would not work correctly, and since I am required to take this medication, paid for it anyway, which came out to $14.53. When I called customer service, they admitted an issue, but informed me the only thing they could is give me another month of gold. However since I was using this service until my ******** card came, this does me no good. I would like a refund to the card on file for the money I did not save.Business Response

I signed up for good rx gold on August 25th 2023, they charged me an initial fee of $1****, and an additional fee of $**** on Aug. 25th 2023. My account ID ********. My card was charged $**** on October 7th 2023, and again $**** on October 8th 2023. I was charged $**** nov. 2nd 2023, $**** Nov. 11th 2023, and **** Nov. 25th 2023. I then deleted my gold membership on Nov. 29th 2023, and received a cancelation confirmation email from good rx. After unsubscribring from my gold membership my good rx account would not allow me to access any of my information, including my payment methods or billing information. Good rx then attempted to charge my card $**** on Dec. 25th 2023, and $**** on Dec. 31st 2023. The only reason no money was removed during those two attempts to charge my card was because I had begun turning off my cards when not in use due to good rx fraudulently charging my card multiple times a month. I was charged $**** on Jan. 6th **** about thirty minutes after I had turned my cards on to use them. I reached out to good rx Jan. 6th explaining the situation, gave them my account ID to delete my account, and asked for a refund. I got no response. Good rx then attempted to charge my card $**** on Jan. 25th Of ****, six days ago. I have proof of all these charges. charge attempts, and the email I sent to good rx. My card was charged a grand total of $89.92 and had all the other attempts gone through ******. I would like a full refund and to have my account and all account information deleted.Business Response
