Get free medical advice about COVID-19 testing
If you’re experiencing symptoms and are wondering if you have COVID-19, we are now offering free screenings to help you decide if you should get tested.
Just fill out an assessment online that asks you about your symptoms, travel, and medical history, and a board-certified healthcare provider will give you advice on whether you should stay home or seek medical attention.
If you do need to get tested for COVID-19, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a website here where you can find testing sites in your area.
Save on medications and vaccines
The new coronavirus is spreading quickly and that means many of us are taking precautions by staying home. If you’re stocking up on medications to be prepared, know that we’ve got you covered. If treatments become available for COVID-19, we’ll offer treatment options, as well.
GoodRx discounts can help you save up to 80% of your prescription medications, and in many cases, our coupon prices beat insurance copays. You may even be able apply your cash receipt from using GoodRx to your insurance deductible.
We’ve also built the world’s largest database of copay savings programs and patient assistance programs, which can lower the price of medications to as little as $0. To find out if such programs apply to your medication, just search for it on goodrx.com and scroll down to the “Savings Tips” section.
While you’re at it, ask your provider if you’re up to date on your vaccines. Especially during this time of year, flu and pneumonia are still common. GoodRx discounts can help you save here, too.
See a provider online and minimize trips to the pharmacy
You may be spending more time at home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the healthcare you need. GoodRx offers online medical visits for many conditions that are just $20. Without leaving your house, you can see a board-certified provider — no insurance required. If you need a prescription, they’ll send that directly to your pharmacy along with discounts of up to 80%. Mail-order pharmacies, where the pharmacy deliveries medications to you, may also be an option.
If you do need to visit a pharmacy, minimizing the potential spread of COVID-19 is key. To help keep you and your pharmacy staff safe, we have some tips here for using GoodRx coupons without your mobile phone to prevent any transfer of germs.
