Amazon’s new prescription service offers ‘unlimited’ meds for $5 per month

Service could reduce prescription costs “by 50% or more,” company says.

Amazon this week unveiled a new service the company has dubbed “RxPass,” a feature that will reportedly allow consumers access to medication at significant cost reductions relative to market prices.

The company said in a press release that the service will allow Prime members to receive “all of their eligible medications for one flat, low monthly fee of $5, and have them delivered free of charge.”

“Any customer who pays more than $10 a month for their eligible medications will see their prescription costs drop by 50% or more,” Amazon Pharmacy Vice President John Love said in the announcement.

Users will still have to provide a valid doctor’s prescription in order to access medications through the service.

The company had already launched Amazon Pharmacy in late 2020, offering slower deliveries for prescription medication.

  1. Does not apply to those on Medicare. The law does not allow prescriptions to be discounted to medicare recipients. My biggest shock on becoming medicare eligible was how much prescription costs, after paying extra for a supplemental policy, skyrocketed.
