Visory Health Saves Americans $790 Million on Cardiovascular Medications

Visory Health has delivered nearly $790 million in savings on cardiovascular medications to over 1.5 million unique patients nationwide since launching its prescription discount platform in March 2022. This substantial financial relief directly addresses one of the most significant barriers to healthcare access, helping more Americans afford life-saving prescriptions for conditions like high cholesterol that are critical in preventing heart attacks and strokes.

The timing of these savings coincides with important research published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine highlighting the public health impact of increasing access to cholesterol-lowering therapy. The simulation study predicted that if all eligible U.S. adults received guideline-directed treatment for high cholesterol, it could annually prevent more than 39,000 deaths from heart attacks, nearly 100,000 non-fatal heart attacks, and up to 65,000 strokes. Beyond saving lives, resolving the widespread underuse of these crucial medications could lead to an estimated $25.3 billion reduction in annual healthcare expenditures.

Heart disease has maintained its position as the leading cause of death for decades, making solutions that break down medication cost barriers particularly significant. By reducing the financial burden of essential heart health medications, patients are better positioned to adhere to their treatment plans, which can substantially lower their risk of devastating cardiovascular events. The availability of consistent savings on commonly prescribed statins, including atorvastatin (generic for Lipitor), rosuvastatin (generic for Crestor), and simvastatin (generic for Zocor), through Visory Health's prescription discount card ensures patients can access these medications without financial strain.

Patients using Visory Health's free prescription discount card can compare medication costs at over 37,000 pharmacies nationwide, including major chains like Kroger, Stop & Shop, Publix, and Walgreens. This price transparency gives patients clearer visibility into medication costs and more options for affordable treatment when using insurance is not feasible or cost-effective. The platform's approach represents a shift toward achieving true health equity by improving the systems that shape healthcare access for millions of Americans.

Through Visory Health, patients can save up to 80% on medication costs by downloading the Visory Health app from the App Store or Google Play Store and adding the digital prescription card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. For those without access to digital wallets, the card is also available for download on the Rx Savings Card page on Visory Health's website at https://www.visoryhealth.com. This accessibility ensures that financial considerations do not prevent Americans from accessing the medications they need to maintain cardiovascular health and live longer, healthier lives.
