In addition to displaying a list of available patient assistance programs for medications in a user's Google Health Account, PatientAssistance.com also offers a discount drug pricing feature to show users the cost of their listed prescription drugs in their local area.
"Everyone may not qualify for every program, or they may have to wait for their patient assistance program to be approved," says Bowden. "To help alleviate costs for those consumers, PatientAssistance.com also directly provides discount drug pricing at the user's local pharmacy."
