Milligram, Inc.

Milligram is a tool that compares prices between pharmacies to show where the best price may be. This may be beneficial when people don't have insurance or choose not to use their insurance (surprisingly, medication can be more expensive when purchased using insurance than without). Patients using Milligram's coupons can get significant discounts on medications. Prescription medicines make up 13% of the total health care spending in the United States. At the same time that health care spending is increasing, more patients are paying a higher proportion of their own healthcare costs through high-deductible plans and health savings accounts. For many patients, the cost of the medications they need in order to stay healthy puts a considerable financial burden on themselves and their families. We strive to help individual patients save money on their prescriptions, enable health care providers to help their patients adhere to treatment plans through affordable medications, and allow insurers and accountable care organizations to keep their costs down. Ultimately, we want to cure price blindness by creating transparency of medication pricing, thereby leading patients to healthier lives, reducing the amount of money on health care each year.
