About RedBox Rx

  • RedBox Rx was built to save you time and money by offering convenient care on your time at affordable prices.

The result is a lower overall cost to be treated without needing any insurance.

  • The biggest differences are convenience and the use of technology. You can begin the treatment process for any condition from the comfort of where you are any time-of-day 24/7. There is no driving or waiting in an office. In fact, most of our services do not require a live video or phone call with a provider; simply fill out a questionnaire and a provider will review and prescribe treatment, if appropriate.
