How To Find The Cheapest Prescription Medication in Your Area

I would like to share an article I wrote in the monthly newsletter for Health Coach University (HCU), the program that I studied to be a health coach and from which I graduated.  The newsletter is addressed to coaches, but it has information that I would like to share with you and you should feel free to pass it on to someone who may need it.  It discusses a wonderful resource for purchasing and saving money on prescription medications.  The resource is Medtipster, a free website with a search engine to help the consumer find the cheapest prescriptions in their zip code area.  It also has additional information and resources for other health related issues.  Read the article below for more details.

Stay healthy & well,
Lisa

Dear fellow coaches,

As coaches our goal is to help our clients have the best resources and information available to them.  This allows the client to make choices that are researched and properly considered which is one of the essential ingredients for their success.  When we as coaches can provide such valuable information, we also project a professional, knowledgeable image. 

I have found a valuable new resource that will be listed and linked in the Health Coaches Virtual Office Resource Section for coaches.  The website is called Medtipster and it provides a way to alleviate the financial burdens and costs associated with prescription drugs.  I am providing a copy of a recent press release that was sent out by the company.  The press release details what Medtipster does and how it can be a valuable tool for your clients.  Remember, even if your client does not take prescription drugs, they may have the stress of caring for elderly parents or spouses with chronic conditions that rely on prescription drugs for their care.

MEDTIPSTER WEBSITE INCLUDES MORE USER-FRIENDLY FEATURES TO HELP AMERICANS SAVE ON THEIR HEALTHCARE COSTS

As healthcare continues to become an increasingly overwhelming financial burden for Americans, Medtipster provides consumers with a single, easy-to-use resource to find prescription drugs available on discount generic programs, right in their own neighborhoods

Troy, MI – July 23, 2012– Medtipster (www.medtipster.com) has launched a newly revamped version of their online healthcare search engine and price comparator to further provide Americans with substantial savings on their healthcare costs. New updates to medtipster.com include simplified search functionality; the ability to search by dosage on the home page; information on where consumers can find mini clinics, and receive immunizations and flu shots locally; and greater breadth and clarity of information in the search process and results.

If the prescription drug the visitor searches for is not available on a discount generic program, they will immediately be given the option to be notified via email when the drug is added to a list, or to search for a therapeutic alternative for the medication. Therapeutic alternatives have similar benefits to the prescribed drug, but are different in composition. These alternatives do require a new prescription, but as many are available on discount generic drug programs, they provide substantial savings to consumers.

“We are continuously updating and improving the Medtipster website to provide American consumers with the most user-friendly and comprehensive resource possible,” said Jason Klein, President of Medtipster. “Because the vast majority of medical conditions can be treated with one of the drugs included on the discount generic drug programs available on Medtipster, the site is an invaluable tool for all Americans to significantly cut their healthcare costs.”

Using Medtipster’s proprietary technology, consumers simply type in their drug name, dosage and zip code, and instantly find prescription drugs available on discount generic programs, and where they can find them right in their own neighborhoods. Many of these drugs are available for $4 or less.

Future releases will provide comparisons of vision and dental plans, gender-specific health issues, pet med searches, and much more. Medtipster’s mobile application, to be released shortly, will allow users to access the site’s critical information using their mobile phones, even before they leave their doctor’s office, saving them the cost and time required for return visits and calls to modify prescriptions.
