SANTA MONICA, Calif. – GoodRx has announced the launch of RxSmartSaver powered by GoodRx at Giant Eagle pharmacies, giving patients a fast and easy way to access lower prices on high-cost brand medications directly at the pharmacy counter.
“We are excited to partner with Giant Eagle to make brand medications more affordable and easier to access for the many patients who rely on them,” said David Graziano, head of Retail Network at GoodRx. “By integrating savings directly into the pharmacy experience and keeping the process simple for both pharmacy staff and patients, we help pharmacies better support their communities while strengthening their economics. Expanding access to brand medications is a win for consumers, pharmacies, and manufacturers.”
Unveiled earlier this year, RxSmartSaver is a turnkey solution that allows patients to instantly unlock meaningful savings on brand medications that are often not covered by insurance or come with high out-of-pocket costs. Through the program, Giant Eagle Pharmacy customers can access a wide range of affordability options, including manufacturer copay cards and nearly 80 unique cash prices across high-cost brand medications, including Farxiga and Repatha. Popular FDA-approved GLP-1 medications are also available at discounted cash prices, including Ozempic and Wegovy injections for $199 per month, and the new Wegovy pill for $149 per month.
Patients need to just scan a QR code at the pharmacy counter using their smartphone, enter the RxSmartSaver portal, and present the available savings to the pharmacist at checkout. The experience is designed to require no operational lift for pharmacy staff, while providing immediate, tangible help for patients facing high prescription costs.
“At Giant Eagle Pharmacy, we are committed to ensuring our patients can access the medications they need to live healthier lives,” said Mike Chappell, Senior Vice President of Pharmacy at Giant Eagle. “Working with GoodRx to bring RxSmartSaver to Giant Eagle Pharmacy reinforces our dedication to providing convenient and affordable care, while supporting our pharmacists with another opportunity to help patients realize meaningful savings on their prescription medications.”
The introduction of RxSmartSaver builds on GoodRx’s broader efforts to support retail pharmacies by helping them improve profitability, reduce prescription abandonment, and drive innovation in the prescription experience. By making affordability tools readily accessible at the point of dispensing, the program helps Giant Eagle stores reduce prescription abandonment, streamline workflows, and deepen patient relationships. GoodRx is ultimately improving the patient experience while delivering stronger economics for retail pharmacy partners.
RxSmartSaver is now available across more than 200 Giant Eagle pharmacies throughout Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
