RxPass vs Insurance
These are not rivals. Insurance is a plan that shares your costs, and RxPass is a flat add on for a set of eligible generics. One is the safety net. The other is a shortcut for a slice of it. They can run together, and the only question is whether the shortcut beats the counter it skips.

What each one is
Insurance spreads the cost of care across a plan, which is why it is the thing that actually covers a prescription. RxPass is narrower by design, a flat add on that applies to eligible generics and nothing else. Coverage versus convenience, and only one of them is broad.
Its eligibility rule is Amazon’s to set and its medication list is Amazon’s to publish. Read both at the source rather than assuming your script is included.
How they interact
An add on can sit alongside a plan, so you are not choosing one over the other. The useful comparison is the simplest one: for the generics you fill, does the flat rate beat your copay. If it does, it is a saving. If it does not, it is a subscription you do not need.
Some people carry both because the add on covers a specific set of everyday scripts cheaply. Others do not, because their coverage already handles those same scripts. Both outcomes are normal.
When RxPass wins
When you fill several eligible generics every month and the flat rate undercuts what you pay, or when you have thin coverage for those specific medicines. It is a product for a narrow, predictable list, and it should be judged on that list.
If your medications are not eligible, the answer is simply no, and that is a clean reason to leave it. The rest of the health benefits sit beside it in the health and pharmacy guide.
Buy it if your everyday generics are eligible and the flat rate beats your copay.
Skip it if your scripts are not on the list, or your coverage already wins. A shortcut past a counter you do not use is not a saving.
