Visory Health focuses on offering low cost prescription medications for women, caregivers

Visory Health is transforming the way everyone, including women, caregivers and underserved communities access medications through a simple, patient-first platform that provides lower prices on prescriptions.

Visory Health noted that Americans pay on average two to three times more than people in other developed countries for prescription medications and this financial burden disproportionately impacts women and low-income families. As a women-owned and women-led company, Visory Health said dthat it is boldly addressing this issue head on through a mission-driven model that focuses on empowering women and caregivers to improve the lives of families and communities.

In just over one year since the company launched, Visory Health has enabled more than 3.25 million customers to access their essential medications while saving them over $4 billion dollars. According to IQVIA, Visory Health is already the fourth largest discount card demonstrating the void it is quickly filling in the prescription marketplace, Visory Health noted.

Visory Health was founded by Susan Lang, one of the foremost drug pricing experts, who was inspired to create a solution for women just like her based on her own personal experience of being a healthcare executive turned patient. Early in her career, Lang championed women’s health developing the first women and children’s hospital and U.S. based WHO breastfeeding center in the Midsouth at Baptist Memorial Health. Lang later moved to the for-profit sector to successfully manage a $60 billion global portfolio as a C-suite executive for Express Scripts.

“After decades of experience in the prescription pricing and healthcare industry, the reality is that women and caregivers continue to be overlooked,” said Susan Lang, Visory Health founder and CEO. “Other healthcare platforms out there don’t truly understand the needs of women and caregivers, but we know from first-hand experience that high prices for healthcare impact women more. We’re moms, patients and caregivers and we started this business to help everyone including women just like us access essential medications to create healthier families.”

"We knew that our mission was important when launching Visory, but we never imagined our business would have resonated with so many, so quickly,” said Debbie Sanders, chief operating officer at Visory Health. "It’s clear people are looking for a better solution that makes it easy to find medications at a price they can afford. We're doing healthcare differently, so consumers can spend time on what matters most."

"Our top priority at Visory is and always will be enabling our customers to access high quality care at an affordable price,” said Cheryl Creamer, chief clinical officer at Visory Health. “Far too many struggle to access life-saving medication due to cost barriers and we're changing that reality one prescription at a time."
