Step 3 Same-ingredient medications priced differently across hospitals

Problem

Chronic disease patients aged 50-65 (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.) receive prescriptions from 2-4 hospitals/pharmacies monthly, but the same active ingredient (brand-name vs generic) is prescribed differently at each hospital, creating a $15-38 monthly difference in out-of-pocket costs. Patients don't understand national health insurance coverage rules and copayment structures, and many don't even know they can request a switch to generics. They're missing $180-450 in annual medication cost savings.

Solution

Enter current medication names to compare insurance-covered prices and copayments for equivalent-ingredient alternatives. First, it searches by medication name for active ingredients and dosage, displaying the full list of brand-name and generic equivalents with their insurance-covered prices. Second, it calculates the monthly and annual copayment difference between current medications and the lowest-cost alternatives. Third, it generates a 'substitute medication request form' to show the doctor during appointments.

Target: Aged 50-65, 2+ chronic conditions, taking 4+ medications monthly, spending $38+ monthly on medication
Revenue Model: Medication search and comparison free, full medication optimization Report + doctor request form generation at $2.25 Per Transaction
