Is Hippo the same as insurance?

No, Hippo is not insurance. We are a technology company focused on making the pharmacy experience easier and more cost effective for consumers. We want to give you the power to make the best choices about your medication - including ensuring you're paying the lowest price.

To use Hippo all you have to do is text "Hello" to Hippo.   

Here are the step by step instructions.

• Go to your text messages and enter HIPPO (44776) in the phone number field
• In the message field type "hello"
• Hit "send"

When you go to the pharmacy to pick up your medication you’ll need to show your Hippo card and ID to your pharmacist. It's that simple!
