Hi, I'm an independent pharmacist
CVS is CVS Caremark Aetna... They are as big as it gets in healthcare. They are a big 3 PBM ruining the whole system and the number 1 pharmacy chain. If you have any choice at all don't use them
Goodrx takes money on the back end from stores and sells your info. Most independents don't use them, but they'll have an in house price that is usually not going to be much worse than goodrx
Someone in this thread making a joke about assassinating a pharmacist is... I don't even know what.
CVS did a good job of some areas of wiping out competition in their expansion days so you may not have other options. If that's really the case, you could fight big with big and see if Amazon has a better rate. Though really it sucks that your insurance would increase the copay so much on you.
Oh, we are way beyond that point. My insurance stopped paying for this drug years ago. Told me I had reached the "lifetime benefit limit". This is all out of pocket and the price yo-yos constantly. It's not the first time it's been this high.
