Drug Switching: Consumer Federation of the Southeast offers help

For years, Genuity Group has been engaged in finding new ways to save money on prescription drugs by blending technology with patients needs and doctor and pharmacist requirements. Along the way we learnd a lot! We used that knowledge to  created new, innovative ways to help consumers and employers save money on prescription drugs.

In 2006, we created a new technology that would save millions of dollars off the cost of brand name drugs for self-insured employers and consumers. That technology, called EquivaMeds, is a patent-pending tool that has averaged more than $700 per year in savings for consumers nationwide – nearly four times more savings than is possible with a traditional discount drug card.

In 2009, we introduced BetterRxCard, a discount drug card program that not only provided the best discounts available for consumers when insurance wasn't an option, but it also provides a way to save on expensive brand name drugs.

Now I we're sharing some of what I've learned here.  Sure, we'll talk about projects we're working on, like the BetterRxCard and EquivaMeds.  But there are other ways out there to save and many other things to consider when you are in a position that you need to find the facts and make a decision.  I hope we provide some of the information to help you, one of the  58% of Americans that have some form of monthly prescription drug cost, save money.
