Is my privacy protected?

Are RobinhoodRx’s listed prices guaranteed?
The vast majority of the time, the prices listed on robinhoodrx .com [or on the RobinhoodRx mobile app] very closely match the prices you will pay at the pharmacy.
However, the availability of specific drugs at a local level can occasionally cause price differences. For example, a pharmacy may fill your prescription with a different but equivalent drug, manufactured by a different company than what the RobinhoodRx program is listing, which may lead to a price difference.
We do our best to determine and price the most popular drug used to fill prescriptions. The prices we publish are our best estimate, based on multiple sources of information. However, we cannot guarantee the price we display will exactly match the price you receive at the pharmacy.
For an exact price on a prescription, please contact your pharmacy and provide the BIN/GRP/PCN numbers shown on your RobinhoodRx card.
