User interface for providing drug pricing information

A computer-implemented method for providing drug pricing information for display on a graphical user interface (GUI) executing on an electronic device for a user, the method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processors, an electronic request from an electronic device associated with the user, wherein the electronic request includes a first set of information that automatically captures user identification from a valid identification card to identify the user, and a prescription drug and omits a second set of information corresponding to a prescription for the prescription drug;
• transmitting, by one or more processors, the first set of information and an overriding indicator to a database management module that is configured to interact with a database to access information for the prescription drug stored in the database, the database management module further configured to prevent access to the drug pricing information without the second set of information unless the overriding indicator is received;
• determining, by one or more processors, by passing transmission of the second set of information to the database management module, the drug pricing information for variations in dosage of the prescription drug, wherein the drug pricing information includes a cash price and a secondary price for the prescription drug identified in the first set of information;
• adjusting, by one or more processors, the variation in dosage of the prescription drug to reduce the cash price and the secondary price;
• identifying, by one or more processors, the lowest cash price and the lowest secondary price for each variation in dosage of the prescription drug;
• selecting, by one or more processors, the lowest price of the prescription drug for a particular dosage;
• generating, by one or more processors, in response to the electronic request, a notification that includes the selected lowest price of the prescription drug for display via the GUI executing on the electronic device;
• and
• transmitting, by one or more processors, the notification to the electronic device via a communication network.

A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable medium storing machine readable instructions to provide drug pricing information for display on a graphical user interface (GUI) executing on an electronic device for a user that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive an electronic request from an electronic device associated with the user, wherein the electronic request includes a first set of information that automatically captures user identification from a valid identification card to identify the user, and a prescription drug and omits a second set of information corresponding to a prescription for the prescription drug;
• transmit the first set of information and an overriding indicator to a database management module that is configured to interact with a database to access information for the prescription drug stored in the database, the database management module further configured to prevent access to the drug pricing information without the second set of information unless the overriding indicator is received;
• determine, by bypassing transmission of the second set of information to the database management module, the drug pricing information for variations in dosage of the prescription drug, wherein the drug pricing information includes a cash price and a secondary price for the prescription drug identified in the first set of information;
• adjust the variation in dosage of the prescription drug to reduce the cash price and the secondary price;
• identify the lowest cash price and the lowest secondary price for each variation in dosage of the prescription drug;
• select the lowest price of the prescription drug for a particular dosage;
• generate, in response to the electronic request, a notification that includes the selected lowest price of the prescription drug for display via the GUI executing on the electronic device;
• and
• transmit the notification to the electronic device via a communication network.
