Shop around to other pharmacies and save … Part II

by BetterRxCard 5. March 2010 01:51
Here’s another media outlet, WBBM, a radio station in … Chicago, I think, that did a shop-around-to-save-on-prescriptions story.   Similar results as the previous story we discussed, but they add in a new wrinkle; prices at the same pharmacies change from day to day.   Caveat emptor.

About the author - David Smith

For 3 years I have been engaged specifically in finding new ways to save money on prescription drugs by blending technology with stakeholders from patients to doctors to pharmacists and supporting vendors. Over this time I have found some great resources and learned the ins and outs of the prescription drug systems here in the U.S.

Now I am 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 I can provide some of that information as well and, with your help, we'll be able to provide assistance to the 59% of Americans that have some form of monthly prescription drug cost today.
