Our mission is to help Americans get the healthcare they need at a price they can afford. To achieve this, we are building the leading, consumer-focused digital healthcare platform in the United States.
Healthcare consumers in the United States face an increasing number of challenges. Consumers are bearing more of the cost of care and have more restrictions imposed on their care. The rising cost of insurance and higher deductibles have led to an increase in the percentage of underinsured Americans. Additionally, the number of uninsured consumers in the United States has increased in recent years. These developments have occurred at a time when the majority of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings.
Lack of affordability in healthcare is a contributing reason why 20% to 30% of prescriptions are left at the pharmacy counter. Non-adherence has a significant impact on American health: someone dies every four minutes in the United States from not taking their prescribed medication at all or as directed, according to a report in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy. Even for those who can afford care, access to physicians is limited. The average wait time for a new patient appointment in 15 large metropolitan markets in the United States was 24 days in 2017, and may extend up to 56 days in mid-sized markets, according to a Merritt Hawkins survey. This has placed additional strain on hospital emergency departments across the country – an estimated 30% of emergency department visits occur for health issues that could have been treated in primary or other care settings. Healthcare professionals, who are motivated by and whose success is increasingly judged on patient outcomes and satisfaction, are growing frustrated and need resources to help them. Part of the problem is that the healthcare market – one of the largest markets in the United States by spending and projected to reach $4.0 trillion in 2020 – has had no widely accepted, consumer-focused, tech-enabled solution through which consumers can easily shop for and access healthcare, unlike those found in other industries for things like airline tickets, rental homes and cars.
GoodRx was founded to solve the challenges that consumers face in understanding, accessing, and affording healthcare. We started with a price comparison tool for prescriptions, offering consumers free access to lower prices on their medication. We wanted to help ensure that no parent had to choose between their child’s next meal and their life-saving medication. Today, we believe our expanded platform improves the health and financial well-being of American families by providing easy access to price transparency and affordability solutions for generic and brand medications, affordable and convenient medical provider consultations via telehealth and additional healthcare services and information.
Based on our research, from inception through June 30, 2020, we estimate that approximately 18 million of our consumers could not have afforded to fill their prescriptions without the savings provided by GoodRx. Furthermore, a July 2020 survey we commissioned from Lab42 Research LLC found that 68% of healthcare providers surveyed have recommended GoodRx to patients. In addition to reducing the costs of healthcare for consumers, we believe that our offerings can help drive greater medication adherence, faster treatment and better patient outcomes. These all contribute to a healthier, happier society.
