If you have Medicaid/Medicare insurance and the doxycycline prescription is not covered under your Curology medical provider, please call your pharmacy and ask if they are willing to accept a GoodRx coupon and permit you to pay the GoodRx coupon cash price. Some pharmacies will accept the GoodRx coupon. Some pharmacies, though, will say "no, it must be prescribed by the patient's in-person Medicaid provider."


How do I find a coupon?

Email our prescription nurses at Rxnurse@curology.com and let them know “I want to use a goodrx.com coupon.” They will email you back and attach the best GoodRx coupon deal for generic doxycycline to use at the pharmacy you have entered in your pharmacy profile (https://curology.com/dashboard/account/pharmacy).


What is the estimated cash price for generic doxycycline using the GoodRx coupon?

How does the coupon work at my pharmacy?

Print the coupon out or have the coupon open on your smartphone and show it to your pharmacist. The pharmacist processes the numbers off the coupon so that you will pay the cash price listed on the coupon.
