Amazon Expands RxPass to Texas, Bringing $5 Prescription Plan to 48 States

The move leaves California and Washington as the only states without access.

Overview

  • RxPass gives Prime members unlimited access to more than 50 commonly prescribed generics for $5 per month to manage chronic conditions.
  • The service operates outside insurance and includes free two-day delivery, optional same-day delivery in eligible areas, and 24/7 access to licensed pharmacists.
  • Amazon states Medicare beneficiaries can use RxPass, while some government programs may face restrictions and one outlet published conflicting guidance.
  • Texas joins the program as a high-need market for chronic disease care, and prescribers can send scripts directly to Amazon Pharmacy or patients can transfer existing prescriptions.
  • Certain drugs and items are excluded, such as Schedule II medications and some specialty products, and customers cannot pay with HSA or FSA funds.
