Your Biggest Questions Answered"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>On February 5, the Trump Administration launched TrumpRx, a government portal that connects Americans to discounted prescription drugs. The website is designed to deliver competitive pricing to citizens, with the goal of making select prescriptions more affordable.e60dc2a1-f33c-4a05-9b50-8e3e8e597629fe8ab935-840e-4813-ade4-3cb563ef5d19 \u201cThis is potentially for anybody who wants to pay less for the small number of medications that are currently available for sale through the TrumpRx website,\u201d says Juliette Cubanski, PhD , deputy director of the Program on Medicare Policy at the nonprofit KFF, who is not affiliated with TrumpRx. But there are a lot of things to consider to make sure you\u2019re actually getting the best deal for drugs purchased on TrumpRx when compared with medications obtained through health insurance or through discounted retailers like GoodRx, Cost Plus Drugs, and Costco. Here, four health policy and pharmacy experts answer the biggest questions surrounding TrumpRx. What Is TrumpRx? TrumpRx.gov is a website aimed at helping Americans access discounted prices on brand-name prescription medications.e60dc2a1-f33c-4a05-9b50-8e3e8e597629fe8ab935-840e-4813-ade4-3cb563ef5d19 It features medications from five manufacturers that have agreed with the administration to offer \u201cmost favored nation\u201d prices on select drugs: AstraZeneca Eli Lilly EMD Serono Novo Nordisk Pfizer Most favored nation pricing means that prices are comparable to the lowest price paid by other developed nations.e60dc2a1-f33c-4a05-9b50-8e3e8e597629351b1b15-ad16-42c3-ad4a-ba1df1848278 The website currently features 43 medications designed to treat a range of health issues, but a message at the top says that TrumpRx is \u201cjust getting started,\u201d suggesting that more medications will be added over time. How Do You Use TrumpRx? Visit the website and find your prescription medication. From there, you can download or print a coupon to take to your local pharmacy, or click through to purchase directly from the manufacturer. It\u2019s important to note that you will need a valid prescription. Who Is TrumpRx Best For? \u201cThis is complicated,\u201d says Jack Hoadley, PhD , a research professor emeritus at the Health Policy Institute of Georgetown University&#8217;s McCourt School of Public Policy in Washington, DC. TrumpRx likely is best for people without health insurance who are not low-income, he says. \u201cPeople who are low-income already probably have access to discount programs,\u201d he adds. Can You Use TrumpRx if You Have Insurance? People with government health insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid, are not eligible for TrumpRx. Dr. Hoadley says most people with private health insurance will not benefit from TrumpRx. \u201cYou can usually get a better deal through your insurance,\u201d he says. But TrumpRx may be useful for \u201ccash-paying patients\u201d with insurance whose plan doesn\u2019t cover certain medications, including many weight loss and fertility drugs, according to Christopher Daly, PharmD , a clinical associate pharmacy practice professor at the University at Buffalo in New York. TrumpRx also might benefit people with private insurance, says Dr. Daly, if their copay is higher than the TrumpRx price, and they have no hope of meeting a high yearly deductible anyway. Still, \u201cI don\u2019t actually see how [TrumpRx] is better than what is already out there,\u201d says Jamie Alan, PhD , associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University. \u201cCostco has great prices on Rx medications and you do not need to have a membership. Mark Cuban [cofounder of Cost Plus Drugs] also has a similar website.\u201d What Drugs Are Available On TrumpRx? There is a mix of prescription medications on the website, including diabetes and obesity drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, fertility medication Gonal-F, and asthma medication Airsupra. But there are no common medications for high blood pressure, one of the most common health issues in the United States.e60dc2a1-f33c-4a05-9b50-8e3e8e59762960c3ff0c-a4f9-4e5e-ab48-f3fbf0e01708 \u201cIt seems to be a few medications, and they appear to be mostly random,\u201d Dr. Alan says. \u201cThere are probably the drugs on which they were able to get deals through this curious negotiating process,\u201d Hoadley says. \u201cI think their hope is that they\u2019ll add more drugs over time. It\u2019s a fairly random list of mediations right now.\u201d Current TrumpRx Drug List These 43 drugs are currently available via TrumpRx:<br \/>\n Can TrumpRx Save You Money if You Pay Out of Pocket? Maybe. In the case of diabetes and obesity medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, TrumpRx may save you money, Dr. Cubanski says, depending on your health insurance coverage. On TrumpRx, the out-of-pocket cost of the Wegovy pill drops from $1,349 to $149 a month for a starter dose, depending on the medication strength. The price of Gonal-F drops from $966 to $168 per pen, depending on dosage strength. But it\u2019s worth noting that other discount sites, like GoodRx, offer the same price for the Wegovy pill. (Gonal-F is significantly higher on GoodRx, though.) People paying out of pocket for the Wegovy pill can also get $149 starter doses by purchasing it directly from manufacturer Novo Nordisk through the company\u2019s NovoCare Pharmacy. Experts stress that people with private health insurance should double-check the pricing on their plan, as well as their deductible. What Are the Biggest Benefits of TrumpRx? The biggest benefits are likely for people who are uninsured or underinsured, according to Cubanski. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have health insurance, you need one of these medications, and you\u2019re currently paying the full list price, you can save some money by using the TrumpRx coupon,\u201d she says. This could expand access for some people, she points out. People prescribed obesity medications and fertility drugs may stand to benefit the most, given that these may not be covered by insurance, Hoadley says. That\u2019s also true if there are strict parameters around insurance coverage for these medications. \u201cIn some cases, insurance will only cover a drug like Ozempic if it\u2019s for diabetes or a cardiac situation, but not for weight loss,\u201d he points out. \u201cThen it would be a better price through this program.\u201d What Are the Biggest Limitations of TrumpRx? Savings are only on brand names, which can be deceptive when comparing prices. Generic versions of brand name drugs are almost certainly cheaper, and some may even be available without a prescription. Alan points to the TrumpRx cost of acid reflux drug Protonix, which starts at $200. \u201cYou could get a comparable drug over the counter \u2014 Prevacid, for example \u2014 for $7,\u201d she says. The offered medications are limited, and even if someone needs a particular drug, Cubanski points out that there are a few steps to get the discount. \u201cWe\u2019re giving people another option, but people have to go through several steps to see if they will get a lower price through the TrumpRx website, GoodRx or similar websites, or their insurance,\u201d she says. For people with insurance, \u201c If you have a deductible, whatever you pay out of pocket through the TrumpRx portal won\u2019t count toward it, \u201d Cubanski says. As a result, you may end up saving a few dollars on a certain medication, but \u201cyou could end up overpaying elsewhere,\u201d Hoadley says. TrumpRx \u201cincreases the fragmentation in the way people get their medications,\u201d Cubanski says. Meaning, people may end up having different prescriptions from different places. \u201cIf there\u2019s not one provider that has eyes on all of the medications you\u2019re using, that could increase the potential for dangerous drug interactions or duplicate prescriptions,\u201d she says. Should You Use TrumpRx? If you\u2019re interested in using TrumpRx, Hoadley recommends thinking about your existing options first. \u201cIf you\u2019re insured, understand where your insurance coverage is helping,\u201d he says. \u201cMaybe you\u2019re eligible for Medicaid and haven\u2019t applied. Sometimes there are additional benefits through existing programs.\u201d To accurately compare prices, he recommends doing online comparison shopping or talking to your local pharmacist. \u201cThey can tell people what it\u2019s going to cost using your insurance or purchasing directly from the pharmacy without using insurance,\u201d he says. \u201cYou may have to check a few different places to see the best overall price.\u201d In the case of select medications, TrumpRx may help to save you money. But ultimately, \u201cThis is for a narrow slice of people,\u201d Hoadley says.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 5, the Trump Administration launched TrumpRx, a government portal that connects Americans to discounted prescription drugs.
