Rx Outreach has been providing safe, affordable medication to patients across the country since 2010. All of our medications are FDA-approved and supplied directly by pharmaceutical manufacturers. We are regulated by the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency, licensed by the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, and maintain licensing to deliver FDA-approved medications. Rx Outreach is accredited by the following: National Association of Boards of Pharmacy VIPPS accreditation ("Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites"), The Better Business Bureau (Accredited Charity), and GuideStar (Platinum Level, the highest possible rating). Lastly, Rx Outreach has been recognized among the "Best Online Pharmacies" by Forbes (2022) and Money Magazine (2020 and 2021).
Rx Outreach is a non-profit, digital pharmacy that provides over 1,000 affordable medication strengths to people in need. We have provided prescription medications to over 500,000 patients. Rx Outreach was a program originally developed as a subsidiary of Express Scripts, Inc. in 2004. In 2010, Express Scripts spun off Rx Outreach to be a stand-alone, charitable organization in order to improve access to prescription medications for low-income, uninsured patients.

Yes. Many of our patients find that our medication prices are less than their co-pays. Patients who are eligible for Medicare Part D can use Rx Outreach, specifically when they reach the "donut hole." However, Rx Outreach does not accept insurance (including Medicare), so the cost is out-of-pocket.
