the brothers are cofounders and we are pleased to have them here. >> thanks, charlie. >> jeffrey. >> you spell your name like my husband does. >> look at matt sticking up for his brother, jeffrey! >> how old are you guys? >> i'm 34. >> i'm 30. >> you say this is like groupon. we all remember what groupon was like. >> yes. it's kind of like groupon in the way it works you go to blinkhealth.com. you look up the name of your medication. you see a price. the price you see there is the price you get over 60,000 pharmacies nationwide. that price, if it's less than you normally pay four prescription, it probably will be, you pay for it online. we provide you with what we call a blink digital pharmacy card. you sew that card to the pharmacist and they type in the codes on that card and your medication rings up at zero dollars. >> jeffrey, how are you able to do this? it sounds so simple. >> right. >> how are the two shaken brothers able to pull this off?

>> i think the key thing is that before blink, the only thing you couldn't buy on the internet essentially was prescription medications. think about amazon or ebay the only thing you couldn't find there are prescription meds. >> i thought people were buying prescription medses from canada? >> you couldn't get them at your local store. the other interesting thing people don't like mail order for their prescription meds so we had to figure out a way to do and what we also recognize when things go to the internet we know things on amazon or ebay prices go down and experiences go up. so what we cracked the code on doing is basically figuring out how to allow patients to purchase their medications online but still pick them up at their local trusted pharmacy where they have a relationship with their pharmacists. >> do you deal with the pharmacies? >> exactly. so the important thing was that we actually have contracts with every single pharmacy in the united states. if the -- >> the nature of the contract? >> the nature of the contract is they accept our prices. we have different prices at each

pharmacy but what is important for consumers is when they go to blink there is one price they are going to see and they can -- they will get that price no matter which pharmacy they go to. it makes it a super simple experience for those users. and there is only one price. >> is there a general percentage and difference between your prices and most pharmacy prices? >> yes. what we say is 50% of medications cost less than $10 when you buy them on blooing. we know insurance copays are going up and most insurance copays are more than 10 bucks. the 30 million people in the country that still don't have insurance, they are typically paying the retail price for medications at those pharmacies and the prices are through the roof. in canada we have found millions of americans are buying their medication from canada. they shouldn't be because there is actually laws in place that prevent canadian drugs from coming into the u.s. but what we found is a lot of those patients are actually now choosing to pay with blink and pick up their medication at their local pharmacies so cvs, walgreens and independent

pharmacies. >> are you able to offer a cheaper price on pharmaceuticals because you're cutting the overhead, you're buying in bulk? that is always one the suggestions that the government which is the largest buyer of pharmaceuticals in the company because of veterans affairs and medicare and medicaid they should negotiate lower prices. how are you getting lower prize? >> we have offering a small swath of the entire population today. so the -- >> what is swath is that? >> on percentage basis it's probably less than 5% of the population. so the ceos of the largest companies in the country are getting access today to the blink price but in order to do that they have to pay for extremely expensive platinum insurance to get access to those prices. what we figured out how to do is by grouping people together, sort of we are the collective voice for consumers, if you think about in health care no one who represents the consumers in health care. what our organization does is pool consumers together use technology and we give them a huge collective voice and give

them access to the prices. >> power numbers? >> huge power numbers. the more people who join also the lower our prices will get. >> back to your business model. your app is free? >> totally free. >> where is your income? >> the way that it works is we make a small transaction fee for every transaction that occurs. actually, on some medications, because we decided to make the price the same at every pharmacy so our costs are difference sometimes we lose money on a transaction. on average we make a little bit of money per transaction but only make money if we saved you money. >> a percentage of the sales price? >> not a percentage of the sales price. we price and our costs vary on the pharmacies that patients go to so we make a little bit of money depending on which pharmacy or which medication someone uses but all of the transactions are refundable. we don't want to make money unless you save money and you're able to see the price before you go. >> your dad is a doctor. your grandfather is a doctor. was it because you were around health care so much you said we have to do something to help the people? >> yes. i think it's no surprise to most

americans it's gotten a tremendous amount of media attention the last several months given what is going on in the pharmacy base. people are overpaying for their medications. most medications should be really inexpensive like lipitor. >> how much is that? >> our father takes it and is now buying it with blink health and has the best insurance you can find and still saving 50% on his medication. >> the blink price is 994. >> for ten milligrams and we are giving every consumer five dollars off their first purchase. that medication is almost free. >> all men around america will be happy about that price. >> you look great. >> jeffrey, whose hair does look great is balding and he does take propecia. >> we have to go! >> you're in trouble! >> cot safest bet in los angeles
