Blink Health Takes Aim at America’s High Prescription Drug Price Crisis

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blink Health, the health technology company saving Americans money on prescription drugs, announced today that it will now guarantee the lowest prices on nearly all generic medications with a Price Match Guarantee covering more than 500 generic drugs – including the 200 most-prescribed generics in the U.S. and more than 95 percent of medications purchased through Blink.

“Millions of American families struggle to afford the medications they need for themselves and their loved ones,” said Blink Health co-founder and CEO, Geoffrey Chaiken. “Our price match guarantee establishes Blink Health as the definitive place to get the lowest prescription prices, every day, simply by purchasing their medications online and picking them up at a nearby participating pharmacy. We’re committed to providing everyone with access to affordable medications, and our price match guarantee is an important step toward achieving this.”

Blink Health’s new pricing will make a significant impact on the growing crisis of high drug prices in America. A March 2018 poll conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that one in four Americans report taking four or more prescriptions, and 35 percent of those people say that they or a family member has not filled a prescription, has cut pills in half, or has skipped doses because of costs. In that same poll, 80 percent of Americans said that they believe prescription drug prices are unreasonable, and the majority believe lowering prescription drug prices should be a top government priority.

The full list of medications covered by Blink’s price match guarantee can be found on the company’s website at blinkhealth.com/blink-smart-deals, including those drugs in the accompanying graphic.

Reactions from Blink Health Patients

Christian L from California – “The prices Blink’s prescription program gets are such a lifesaver for me. I live with high blood pressure and a heart issue that runs in my family, so my medications are really expensive for me and my income doesn’t really support insurance plans that have prescription options with them. When I tried Blink for the first time I was really skeptical, but when the pharmacist told me what my total was, I almost started crying right there at the register. My total was 85% less than what I would have paid if I didn’t have Blink. I walked out with all of my medications and I didn’t have to pay full price. From that moment, I became a solid Blink user. This program is a lifesaver for me…and now they are offering price matching? That is awesome! Look out everyone else, Blink is coming through!”

Elvin H from Colorado – “Blink’s affordable prescriptions give me freedom to live my life. Before I knew of them, I was living under constant stress trying to figure out how to pay the exorbitant health insurance and prescription costs every month. Blink is legitimately a lifesaver because I’m able to get the seizure medication I need for vastly cheaper than through insurance or the retail value.... Their new price match sounds very exciting to me!”

Charlene P from Kentucky – “I’m excited about the price match guarantee and will definitely use Blink for all of our medications. We’ve never had a problem getting our meds and it’s SO much fun to watch everyone when the druggist says ‘no charge.’”

Susan H from Ohio – “Blink has made it possible for my husband to get a medication that there is no way possible for us to afford. They have a great program for people with type 2 diabetes. They personally called my pharmacy and talked to the pharmacist for us. The very next day my husband was taking the medication. Thanks to Blink. They really are very caring and extremely helpful. Now with this new price match guarantee we will surely be getting more of our meds from them. I advise everyone to at least check them out. I’m glad we did.”
