GoodRx Offering Free Telehealth Appointments to Los Angeles Residents Affected by Wildfires

Santa Monica-based GoodRx is helping its community by offering residents free online healthcare provider visits to refill lost medications or receive treatment for a variety of conditions

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading prescription savings platform in the U.S., today announced it is offering free online healthcare provider visits to California residents impacted by the wildfires devastating Los Angeles County. Starting today, Angelenos can use the code LA-GOODRX-CARE to be seen by a licensed medical provider on GoodRx Care for a variety of conditions.

Hundreds of thousands of Californians have been impacted by the wildfires, which may prevent them from getting treatment for new or existing conditions. As a Santa Monica-based company, GoodRx is dedicated to making sure its community is taken care of. GoodRx Care can be used regardless of insurance status to get quick, affordable access to essential medication that may have been destroyed or left behind during evacuation. During the telehealth appointment, a licensed medical professional can refill existing medications and send them to a local pharmacy of the patient’s choice for pick up.

“As someone directly impacted by the LA fires and co-founder of a company built in the heart of Santa Monica, it’s important to me and everyone at GoodRx that we do our part to ensure those affected are able to access their medications and manage their health during this time,” said Doug Hirsch, co-founder of GoodRx. “We want anyone who has been displaced during the fires to be able to get the care they need, including emergency refills for medications that may have been damaged or left behind.”

GoodRx Care can also be used for fast and easy treatment of a variety of conditions, such as the flu, UTIs, and more. In addition, residents can find quality information from healthcare professionals on relevant health topics at GoodRx Health.

For Angelenos who have evacuated and are displaced, GoodRx is offering the following tips:

• Accessing emergency refills: Most insurance companies allow for emergency refills or a one-time override if you’re early on your refill.
• Saving on emergency refills: If your insurance company won’t cover another refill because it’s too soon - or you don’t want to go through the hassle of the authorization process - you can use cash to purchase your medication quickly. With GoodRx, you can save up to 80% on your prescription.
• Switching pharmacies if needed: If the fires have caused your local pharmacy to delay operations, or you’ve evacuated, you can transfer your prescription(s) to another pharmacy.
