Re Kroger Health Savings Club being discontinued

[jcam222]

I signed up for this the beginning of the year @$39.99 / year. Drug prices are phenomenal with most mine being either $0 or $12 per 90 day supply. Much better than my insurance, Goodrx or Cubans Cost plus. I just found yesterday they are no longer accepting new members and no renewals. Program is being discontinued although they are honoring current memberships to term. Real bummer , went through Goodrx and looks like they are double or more in most cases. Hoping that when I go on Medicare in Dec. the meds will be daily priced. Just thought I'd post this for any of you who are current members. New CEO commented on this saying he was trying to structure their value proposition to more closely align with what their customers want. Apparently he thinks they want to pay more LOL

In my experience in this world, CEOs are out of touch with reality.

WAIT WHAT!!! Seriously….

Just we to the site. It’s real. So sad! I hope that wasn’t due to the tariffs? Tons of medication comes from overseas…

 

[sandyut]

Now I’m pissed.

Kroger does Single care That’s not much more money per script and no membership. Maybe that’s why? Cuban is cheap for mine, but I would rather not mail order drugs…gonna need to sort this out…again…bleh

 

[sandyut]

did a quick comparison between Cuban and Singlecare. Cuban is $28 less every 90 days than SC for the 4 I was getting on the Kroger plan. Really hate mail order meds... Love Kroger because I can get them quick and when out of town in the US. Probably leave them there for $10 a month. The one I will keep at Cuban is like half the price as Single care at like $60 something vs $95 a month.

They are cheaper than anywhere else, you just have to mail order. I use them for one, never had an issue.

I just checked my account on the app and it doesn't mention anything about eliminating the program.
Last fall I did received an email saying that the program was ending. When I went to the pharmacy, they told me that all I had to do was re-register my account. I did that and paid my fee and am currently enrolled. I live in the Detroit area.

On the home page before logging in. I called our pharmacy and they confirmed its over soon as your current membership ends.

What's single care? I buy one of mine through Cubans Cost Plus. It was a third of the cost of any other option. Have had one 90 day full so far. Winterrider Cost Plus is Mark Cubans company. Nice business model it's truly their cost plus a $5 pharmacy fee and shipping.

I also called them on the number from my card. They confirmed the programs dead but good through the end of your current membership term.

Single care is what Kroger uses if you don’t put a script on ins. They default to it if you don’t want to use ins. You can look up med cost one their website, at check out at Kroger you just ask to use it.

Cost plus rocks! I would rather not mail order unless it’s big savings

Nope, absolutely nothing to do with the current administration. They announced the end to the savings program over a year ago...

I don't think it was due to tariffs at all. That said not sure how it was announced a year ago as I signed up for a year in January?

They announced that the program was not cost effective and would end...

Bizarre since I signed up January of this year and have filled scripts with it. I do notice it's now called Health Savings instead of of RX Savings.
