Problem
Currently, there is no method for a patient to learn the cost and insurance coverage related to medications they've been prescribed using their insurance coverage. Here are additional problems related to medication pricing:
• Until you speak to a pharmacist, both the price of the medication after applying your insurance and the price of the medication if paying entirely out-of-pocket are unknown.
• Unavailable — Prescription variation and alternative options (including brand name vs. generic).
• Unknown — Alternative pharmacy options or pricing discounts.
• Missed Opportunity for patients to make informed decisions.
• There is no patient insight or knowledge for approval or denial.
• Up-in-the-Air — It takes days, weeks, or longer to receive a decision.
• Dangerous Delays for acute, chronic and complex conditions.
• Financial and Administrative Burden — Costly provider and payer misalignment.
