TrumpRx – The Basics

Targeted Individuals:

    • Uninsured individuals
    • Individuals with high-deductible plan
    • Individuals with medications not covered by insurance

TrumpRx does not directly sell brand-name drugs, take insurance, or count towards an individual’s deductible.

TrumpRx – How it Works

    • Search for a brand-name drug on the website: www.TrumpRx.gov
    • If your brand drug is listed: Download or print a coupon for use at a participating pharmacy

                         OR

    • Get redirected to the drug manufacturer’s online pharmacy for next steps
    • Pay out of pocket (only)

*Not eligible for TrumpRx if you are enrolled in any government insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE, etc.)

TrumpRx – Deeper Dive

    • At launch, TrumpRx offers savings on 43 brand-named drugs and growing, as more manufacturers commit to invest in manufacturing facilities in the US within the next three years in return for evading tariffs.
    • Generics are still the lowest cost option, when available.

    • Most brand-name drugs are from:
      • AstraZeneca
      • Eli
      • Lilly

TrumpRx – Discount Range

    • Discounts range from 33% to 90% off manufacturers’ list price.
    • GoodRx also offers similar discount ranges for drugs on TrumpRx.
    • However, many of the brand-name drugs are available in an even lower cost generic equivalent. 
    • Discounts are compared to list prices which are usually higher than what insurers pay.

        • List price: $1,300+ per month
        • TrumpRx price: $149-$349 per month
