BuzzRx

BuzzRx

Discounts prescription medications through partner pharmacies.

Overview

BuzzRx provides a free prescription savings program via a drug discount card and mobile app. By negotiating lower prices with major pharmacies—such as CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid—the service offers discounts on medications, allowing users to save up to about 80% on prescription costs. To use it, customers access the free card through the app or website and present it at participating pharmacies, where the discount is applied to the cash price of the prescription; BuzzRx earns revenue by negotiating these lower prices and sharing the savings with users. In addition, for every prescription filled using the service, BuzzRx donates to nonprofit organizations like Make-A-Wish. Compared with others, BuzzRx emphasizes its broad national pharmacy network, free access, and a social-impact component through donations. The company's goal is to help patients lower their prescription costs while supporting charitable causes through a portion of each savings transaction.
