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.
Solution
Convenient at the Time of the Prescription — Patients can leverage consumer apps that support RTPBC request to the payer.
