About DiRx

Who is DiRx?

DiRx is a licensed and accredited online pharmacy based and operated in the US. We deliver FDA-approved generic medicines right to your door. We believe everyone should have access to affordable medicine, and we have worked directly with manufacturers to provide the lowest cost for the most commonly prescribed medications. DiRx is a cash-based pharmacy, therefore you do not need insurance to purchase. We are here to help deliver the medicines you need at a price you can afford.

Payments

Do you take insurance?

No, we don’t take health insurance. We work to keep the cost of our generic medicines low so that it’s affordable, even without coverage. You may find our direct price cheaper than your copay in many instances.

What are my payment options?

Currently, we accept most major credit and debit cards, HSA and FSA cards as forms of payment. We are continuing to explore other payment options.

Can I pay with my HSA or FSA?

Yes, we accept payments from both health savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible savings accounts (FSAs).

What do I have to pay for?

There are no membership fees with DiRx. You just pay for the price of your medicine. We’ll even ship it to you FREE with ground shipping! (See Shipping and Delivery for other shipping options)

How are you able to offer such low prices?

We have streamlined and minimized the number of supply chain layers. In other words, we’ve cut out the middlemen to bring generic medicines directly to you. Hence the name DiRx - a combination of Direct + Rx!

Prescriptions

Do I need a prescription to order medicine?

Yes. You must have an active US prescription. When you place your order, you will let us know where to locate your prescription (with your provider or previous pharmacy) and we’ll handle the rest for you!

What if another pharmacy has my prescription?

We’ll take care of transferring your prescription for you. After selecting your medicine, you can choose whether:

• Your prescriber will send your prescription to DiRx;
• You would like DiRx to contact the prescriber to request your prescription; or
  
• You would like us to transfer your prescription from another pharmacy for you
  

Do you automatically refill medicines?

Yes, DiRx can automatically refill your medicines for the duration of your prescription as long as you choose an auto-refill option at checkout. We’ll send you reminders before each refill to give you peace of mind. This also gives you the chance to update your information, as needed.

Can I get a new prescription sent to DiRx?

Yes, just tell your prescriber to electronically send or fax your prescription to DiRx – just as you would with any pharmacy.

• To send an e-script to DiRx (NCPDP #5707801) or fax to 833-347-9329.
• Or just give us your prescriber’s name and number when placing your order and we’ll take care of the rest for you.
  

Do I need insurance to order from DiRx?

No! Insurance is not part of the DiRx experience, so neither are insurance or pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) denials. With DiRx, all decisions are between you and your doctor. A DiRx pharmacist is there for assistance with every step.

Available Medicine

What if I don’t see my medicine?

We carry over 1,400 of the most commonly used FDA-approved, generic medicines. If you don’t see your medicine on our list, check in with our Customer Care team or create an account to join our mailing list and stay informed on our latest product additions, promotions and health tips.

How do I know if generic is the best option for me?

We only carry FDA-approved generic medicine. These generics are approved by the FDA after a stringent review of their bio-equivalence data to ensure that they are comparable to the brand-name product. In certain cases, we also carry Authorized Generics that are basically generics made by the same brand companies. Read more about generic medications here.

Our pharmacists are a quick call away to answer any questions that you may have at 877-FOR-DIRX.

Does generic medicine work the same as brand name?

Whether or not a generic is prescribed is a conversation between you and your doctor.

Generic medicine is safe, effective, has the same active ingredients and works the same as the brand name — but it costs a lot less. Authorized generics are brand product, manufactured by the same company, on the same production line but with a different label. Same ingredients, color and shape.

Where does your medicine come from?

Our medicines are all FDA-approved and sourced from generic drug companies based in the United States. We have built lasting relationships with companies committed to quality production standards. And each of our manufacturers strictly adheres to federal regulations.

How do I know your medicine is high quality?

Our generic medicines are FDA-approved and quality controlled. You can order with confidence knowing that your medicine is safe.

Shipping and Delivery

How will you ship my medicine?

We carefully package prescriptions to keep your medicine safe. We’ll ship your order to you in non-descript packaging for privacy. Your medicine should arrive safely to your home on schedule within days of the validation of your prescription.

My medicine has to be refrigerated. How will you safely deliver it?

If your medicine requires refrigeration, we will send it in a water-resistant sleeve and include an icepack. We ship all refrigerated items for next day delivery.

How fast will I get my medicine?

Generally, we ship medicine via USPS. It should arrive promptly within standard delivery times. In some cases, we can expedite and ship your medicine overnight for a small fee, as detailed in our shipping fees.
