CARE-TEAM IMPLEMENTATION

Add a useful patient resource
without adding another workflow.

MedicineCostHelp can sit beside existing financial-navigation, pharmacy, nursing, social-work and patient-education workflows. Link to the public resource; keep patient-specific decisions and data inside your existing systems.

10-MINUTE IMPLEMENTATION

Four ways to put MedicineCostHelp where patients already look.

1

After-visit summary or portal message

Add a short neutral link for patients who want help understanding expensive-medicine coverage, access barriers or financial-assistance options.

2

Clinic or hospital resource page

List MedicineCostHelp with other outside patient resources. Keep the description neutral and point users to the public site.

3

Infusion or waiting-area handout

Use the existing one-page QR handout so patients can open the resource on their own device without giving MedicineCostHelp patient information.

4

Staff quick-reference link

Add the site to navigator, pharmacy, nursing, scheduling or social-work resource lists as a starting point—not as a replacement for plan-specific verification.

IMPLEMENTATION RULE

Send the resource. Keep the patient data.

Do not transmit patient identifiers. No patient name, date of birth, diagnosis, member ID, claim number, medical record or referral payload is needed to link to MedicineCostHelp.

Do not outsource the decision. MedicineCostHelp is educational navigation. Your care team, payer and official program sources remain responsible for patient-specific clinical, coverage, coding, eligibility and billing decisions.

AFTER-VISIT / PORTAL

Copy-ready patient introduction

MedicineCostHelp.com is a free U.S. resource that can help you look up an expensive medicine, understand common insurance and access steps, open official coverage sources, and find manufacturer or independent financial-assistance resources. It does not make coverage decisions and does not require a patient account.
PUBLIC RESOURCE DIRECTORY

Neutral organization description

MedicineCostHelp is a free U.S. patient-navigation resource for expensive medicines. It helps patients and care teams find official coverage sources, understand common access barriers, build next-step questions, and locate manufacturer or independent financial-assistance resources. No patient account is required.
STAFF QUICK REFERENCE

One-sentence internal share

For expensive-medicine coverage or financial-assistance questions, start with MedicineCostHelp.com: search the medicine, follow the insurance path, open the official source, and use the Coverage Action Plan if something is stuck.
PATIENT HANDOUT

Use the existing QR handout.

Print or post the one-page handout already built for care teams. It sends the patient to the same public starting point without creating a referral record.

WHAT NOT TO CUSTOMIZE

Keep local language simple and neutral.

Do not turn a resource-list description into a promise that a medicine is covered, that assistance is available, or that a payer will approve treatment. MedicineCostHelp changes as official sources change; the controlling insurer, program, manufacturer and treatment site should always be verified.

READY TO USE

Start with the public toolkit.

No contract or integration is required for an ordinary public link. If your organization wants to report outdated information or discuss a resource-page listing, use the contact page and do not include patient health information.

Important

MedicineCostHelp is an independent educational navigation resource. Organizations should independently verify coverage, coding, assistance and eligibility information before using it in patient-specific decision-making or billing workflows.
