About Us

What is HealthPricer?

HealthPricer is an independent, award-winning product finder and comparison shopping site dedicated to helping you find the best healthcare products from trusted merchants online. We are a free site that helps consumers compare prices on a range of healthcare products including prescription and OTC drugs, contact lenses, supplements and beauty products (more to come). Our aim is to save you time and money when shopping for healthcare products online.

HealthPricer works for you

HealthPricer is an accurate and comprehensive marketplace for health products only. We currently represent over 100 merchants and hundreds of thousands of products. At HealthPricer you can browse for, or search for specific products and we'll provide you with a list of pre-screened trusted merchants that offer that product by price, quantity, merchant rating and other product attributes.

It's incredibly easy

Simply enter the product name you are looking for in the search box and we do all the heavy lifting - providing you with all merchants that offer that item and a number of ways to refine your search to find the product that best suits your needs.

Our philosophy

We understand that shopping for healthcare products online is tricky. Not only do you have very specific search requirements, but you also have to worry about online scammers. HealthPricer helps to eliminate all those concerns:

• Trust: to trust us means you depend on us to trust our merchants. We go to great lengths to evaluate and build relationships with our merchants. HealthPricer only represents legitimate merchants.
• Exact products: we know you are looking for very specific products, so we ensure that product is not represented in different ways under slightly different names - what you see is an exact presentation of merchants that offer that one product. HealthPricer Focuses on Data Normalization explains this in more detail.
• Product variations: very often you will be looking for a specific quantity of pills, tablets, liquid ounces or boxes of a healthcare product. We help you find the quantity you need and compare product prices for those quantities. Want to learn more? Read: HealthPricer Focuses on Product Variations.
• Accurate prices: we know it's annoying that merchants don't include shipping and handling fees in their displayed prices and that they sometimes provide prices after mail-in rebates. We don't do that. HealthPricer includes shipping and handling fees in its prices and we have an option for you to include or exclude mail-in rebate prices. Need more information?

The bottom line is, we work for you and give you control of your search and here's our promise to you.

Yes we do get paid; but not by you

HealthPricer has agreements with our merchants to receive a reasonable commission payment when you purchase a product from them. The commercial relationships that we have with our merchants mean that they willingly include their entire inventory of products on HealthPricer, ensuring you the greatest choice of products.

Our commercial relationships have no bearing on the ranking of merchants in your requested search results.

We do not engage in sponsored links, merchant advertising or biased "best price" and "best value" buttons.

Trusted merchants only

Rather than work with the crowd on unknown merchants, we're currently representing just over 100 reputable and, where needed - accredited, online healthcare merchants.

Please share your experiences

It's important to us that you share your experiences with us and others. Currently you can review merchants and we really appreciate when you take the time to do so. Promise us that you will be honest and fair.

There are big plans to expand the "social shopping" experience on HealthPricer. We have some ideas, which are best outlined as follows:

• Consumer-generated content, such as tagging, editorial reviews, ranking of products and of other people's reviews;
• Profile with preferences: basically giving you the ability to set up your profile and as part of that profile provide your preferences, such as brands, products, stores you buy them from and your interests;
• Networking: connecting you with other people to build a community, so that you can learn from, and share advice with, your peers and discuss health options;
• Consumer-recognition component: as an extension of the networking, this component would help expose your interests and profile on the site and within your network, all based on your activity. Say you are a diabetic and write reviews and talk with others about diabetes, this function would help expose you to all those that also profile as diabetics. Basically exposing you to a wider community of peers (of course on an opt-in basis);
• Outbound integration component: this would include the ability to share your information on other social networks.

We'd love to hear what you think of these ideas, so please take a moment to leave a comment in our blog entry: HealthPricer to Improve Interactivity: Plans for a Social Shopping Community.
