Paytient Helps Employers Reduce Prescription Drug Costs

Paytient, the leader in employer-sponsored healthcare affordability solutions, announced an expansion to make it easier for employers and their employees to pay less for prescription drugs. As employers face a projected 10% increase in healthcare costs for 2026 — largely driven by rising prescription drug costs — Paytient directly targets the fastest-growing pain point for both companies and their workers.

"The more often we see care with a cash price, the faster prices will come down." said Brian Whorley, Founder and CEO of Paytient. "By partnering with like-minded leaders like GoodRx and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, we're doing our part to raise the expectation in the marketplace and give employers a practical way to enable their employees to easily pay for medical care and pay less for prescriptions whenever possible — ensuring care is accessible and affordable for every household. It is possible to save and expand access — our own health plan saves $27 every time an employee uses this solution."

Innovation in plan-sponsored payment solutions became a federally-required standard of care in 2025 with the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan. In an effort to increase medication adherence and help make healthcare more accessible, equitable and affordable, nearly 56 million Americans now have a Medicare plan that will pay out-of-pocket costs in full on their behalf to pharmacies, giving people protection from financial uncertainty.
