Epic Systems, a major electronic health records vendor, has announced it will introduce a prescription price comparison tool in the summer of 2027. The tool will allow patients to compare the cash price and insurance cost of a prescription across different pharmacies.
The feature is designed to give patients more transparency when filling prescriptions, potentially helping them choose where to get their medications based on cost. It will cover both cash prices and what they would pay through insurance.
The announcement was reported by MedCity News. No further details about the tool's integration or availability have been disclosed.
