Amazon Prime members who have multiple prescriptions or are otherwise dealing with pharmacy costs, RxPass offers an alternative subscription for medication.
Amazon Pharmacy customers can now cut their prescription-related costs with the service’s new monthly pharmacy subscription, says a bulletin this morning from Amazon Pharmacy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vin Gupta. According to the January 24 Amazon announcement, the subscription is called the «RxPass,» and includes a total of 60 generic drugs that treat over 80 common medical problems. For a flat fee of $5 per month, Prime customers can have as many eligible medications delivered to their door as they need.
Any medication orders filled through the Amazon Pharmacy and RxPass require a prescription slip from a physician just as any traditional pharmacy would, but automatic refill and delivery options are available. There is no contractual obligation to RxPass, except for in cases where a medication supply spanning more than one month is ordered. For example, if a Prime customer purchases a 90-day supply of their prescription through RxPass, they are then committed to paying the monthly $5 for the duration of that supply — even if they cancel their subscription in the meantime.
Not every Prime member will have access to the monthly prescription subscription service.
