MyFloridaRX Prescription Drug Price Locator combines prescription drug data to shed light on pharmaceutical costs among individuals covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance to ensure a uniform system of price transparency.
Introduction
Problem
Floridians have had to rely on individual pharmacies or scattered online resources to find the best prices for their medications. This fragmented approach often leads to significant variations in drug prices, causing confusion and financial strain for consumers. The lack of a centralized price comparison tool impacts Floridians, especially those with chronic conditions requiring regular medication, seniors on fixed incomes, and low-income families. This causes a financial burden and the time-consuming venture of having to contact multiple pharmacies or scour various websites to compare prices.
Solution
Cloud Navigator partnered with AHCA to leverage modern technology to create a unified source of data. This online platform with mobile capabilities aggregates prices from various pharmacies and uses geo-location to show local prices. It caters to a broad range of users, including those who are not tech-savvy, ensuring that the tool is inclusive. This effort creates an accessible, user-friendly platform that offers real-time information on prescription drug prices across various pharmacies in Florida.
