FAQs

What is NextRx?
this this

Everyone knows that traditional healthcare is too expensive. Traditional pharmacies rely on costly infrastructure: insurance companies and billing, high-priced brand-name drugs, and a broken system with middlemen everywhere. At NextRx, we’re convinced there’s a better way—one that offers consumers access to the same caliber of prescription medication they’d find anywhere else. We can dramatically reduce your costs while maintaining exceptional quality.

Our customers can place orders for generic prescription medications and many popular supplements from anywhere in these states: AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, ME, MA, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, PA, RI, SC, SD, UT, VT, WI, WY. The experienced pharmacists at NextRx can help you fill your prescriptions while offering up to 80% off of retail prices on high-quality generic medications.

How much does NextRx cost?
this this

Fortunately, there is no extra cost and no monthly membership required to use NextRx! It’s just like picking up prescriptions from a regular pharmacy — you’ll only be charged for the cost of your prescriptions. We also offer fast and convenient shipping for our prescriptions.

Where do you get your medications?
this this

We get our medications from the same suppliers as other pharmacies. The FDA-approved medications we offer are purchased directly from reputable wholesalers, saving our customers up to 80% over traditional, insurance-based pharmacies.

Why is NextRx cheaper than the pharmacy I typically use?
this this

Though it may seem impossible, it’s true! We’re what’s known in the industry as a “cost plus” pharmacy — this means that our prices are not dictated by insurers or PBMs (Pharmacy Benefits Managers), who get rich by adding in unnecessary mark-ups. This means we can offer most generic medications at a lower cost. We’re a US-based certified pharmacy, and our headquarters are in Columbia, Missouri. We operate just like any other pharmacy in the United States, and we sell the same generic medications as other pharmacies.

What is a “cost-plus” pharmacy?
this this

A cost-plus pharmacy is unlike a traditional pharmacy, where costs can be inflated by middlemen and insurers. We offer medication at “cost-plus” — our cost for the drug, plus a built-in expense to run our business. We don’t think your prescription drugs should cost “as much as they can get away with” — here, you’ll usually find a much cheaper option, with or without insurance.

What is the best way to save money on prescriptions?
this this

In the event that your insurance doesn’t cover the cost of one of your medications, your copayment is very high, or you don’t have insurance at all, you should check different sources to find the best price. While many online pharmacies sell these medications at discounted rates, they may still be using a multi-layer distribution system. This can inject additional cost layers, ultimately creating a higher cost for consumers.

Fortunately for our customers, there is a better alternative. With NextRx’s superior model, costs are significantly lower than you’ll find at many other pharmacies. Our mix of local support from highly-trained pharmacists and online prescription delivery model offers the best of both worlds for our customers.

Do prescription discount cards work?
this this

Yes and no. The first thing to understand is that prescription discount cards do not constitute insurance. Coupon cards from drug manufacturers may interact with drug coverage, but those from independent benefit companies – like GoodRx and similar options – are often used in lieu of insurance.

Prescription drug cards can be used by anyone, but there are some serious limitations in their use. Anyone with or without insurance can qualify to use discount drug cards — but that doesn’t mean they’re the best option for getting cost-effective access to the prescription medications that you use on a regular basis. Additionally, if you have insurance and use a discount card, anything you pay will be out-of-pocket and will not count toward your deductible.

Patients show their pharmacist either a physical or digital card. Instead of using the patient’s insurance information, the pharmacy processes the prescription using information from the discount card. In this scenario, instead of paying their usual copay, the patient pays a reduced cash price. If the cash price is less than the copay of the patient, it might be a good deal. Unfortunately, this is rarely the situation and patients often find that they’re overpaying even with a prescription drug card.

You might pay less with a discount card than you would without one, but you’re still getting a discount off an inflated price. At NextRx, we ensure that our prices are as low as possible from the start, by cutting out the middlemen.

How to save money on prescriptions?
this this

We don’t accept insurance, but you are likely to pay less for your medications if you use our pharmacy. We do not pay fees to middlemen like insurance companies and plan administrators — which means our starting costs are much lower than you’ll find elsewhere.

The staff are always extreme nice and helpful. I have been picking prescriptions up there for someone else, and decided to ask about transferring my prescriptions there. They don’t take insurance, and my prescriptions cost 1/3 of what I was paying at Walgreens with my insurance. Amazing! I highly recommend NextRx! Read Less

I found this little Gem this year. I absolutely love NextRX. My prescriptions are half of what they cost through OptumRx or other pharmacies. It’s across town for me, but it’s worth the drive. The people are friendly, helpful and have been very fast filling my prescriptions. I recommended them to several people, and I even told my doctor to mention them to any of their patients that might have expensive prescriptions that they could possibly get cheaper here. Read Less

NEVER have I had a pharmacy be as helpful and accommodating and CHEAP as NextRx. If you are self pay or do not have insurance, USE THIS PHARMACY. My scripts are LITERALLY half the cost as when I would get them filled at Schnucks CVS. Also, one of the medication’s I take has a supply issue. They have had no problem reaching out to my doctor to adjust the prescription to accommodate what they have in stock. Thank you so much next RX for keeping me in the prescriptions that I need to help me live a successful life! Read Less

Amber Evans

Always friendly and knowledgeable! Not to mention that they save me a good deal of money on the same drugs I had been paying 3 times more for through my insurance company. Crazy but true.
