GoodRx on June 9 launched a program that allows independent pharmacies to directly contract with the California-based company best known for its prescription discount platform. The GoodRx Community Link program leverages a cost-plus pricing model based on National Average Drug Acquisition Cost (NADAC) “to provide predictable pricing and favorable economics” to independent pharmacies that are facing “complex reimbursement models and competitive pressures,” the company stated.
