With the cost of prescription drugs skyrocketing - up 384% in the last 5 five years - and the uncertainty of healthcare in America, we have put together some resources for you that we hope will be of help in regard to getting the best cost for the prescriptions drugs that you need. We have additional resource pages under our "Resources" tab.

Blink Health is the new way for all Americans to save on their prescriptions. With their proprietary technology, everyone now has access to one, low negotiated price on over 15,000 medications. Simply pay online before you pick up at your pharmacy to save up to 95%.

Blink believes that everyone should have access to fair and affordable prescription prices. Whether you are insured, uninsured or something in between, Blink offers some of the lowest prices on over 15,000 medications.
There are no membership fees and no monthly premiums, ever.

Pay online and pick up at over 57,000 pharmacies nationwide.

You need to have internet access to utilize this resource. And, some newer, more cutting-edge drugs might not be covered.
Here is a NBC video on Blink Health from 2016

Save On Medical is an online marketplace where patients can shop online for medical procedures using price transparency to help them make informed care decisions based on cost, quality or convenience — similar to the way Expedia does for travel.
​
Providers list their self-pay prices on the website and can update their pricing on the fly, communicate directly with patients and even collect patient feedback. Just like airlines and hotels that sell empty seats or rooms at discounted prices, providers are able to offer discounted rates for empty appointment slots.
It’s win for patients because they get a deal and it’s a win for providers too because they can secure payment from the patient before their appointment even occurs.

Save on Medical also offers a Pharmacy Savings Card:
  •  Save 75% on medications
  •  Accepted at 35,000 pharmacies
  •  No coupons needed

​NeedyMeds is a national non-profit organization that maintains a website of free information on programs that help people who can't afford medications and healthcare costs. They regularly update data on over 9,000 assistance programs, 15,000 free/low-cost/sliding scale clinics and nearly 1,500 drug discount coupons. They also publish information about resources for specific diseases. 

NeedyMeds was founded in 1997 by Richard J. Sagall, MD, a family physician, and Libby Overly, MSW, MEd, a medical social worker. They realized there was a need for a centralized resource for information on pharmaceutical patient assistance programs. Since, more than 1.3 million patients, family members, healthcare professionals, social workers, and patient advocates use the NeedyMeds website each year. All information is accessible at no charge and without registration.
