Is PriceMyMeds Safe, Secure, and Legitimate?
Yes. PriceMyMeds is built to align our privacy practices with HIPAA principles, the U.S. health-privacy law, and its security program is independently examined under SOC 2. PriceMyMeds never sells your personal health information, processes data in the United States, and lets you search prices and get coupons without creating an account or entering a credit card.
Trust Matters in Healthcare
Healthcare information is personal.
When you search for a medication, compare pharmacy prices, or use a prescription discount coupon, you're trusting us with information that matters.
At PriceMyMeds, protecting that trust is not just a compliance requirement - it's a core business responsibility.
Everything we do is guided by three principles:
- Protect personal information
- Minimize data collection
- Maintain transparency about how we operate
Security at a Glance
No Sale of Personal Health Information
PriceMyMeds does not sell personal health information to data brokers, advertisers, or third parties. Our business model is built around prescription savings networks—not selling information about our users.
SOC 2 (AICPA) — independently audited security controls
SOC 2 is a recognized security standard from the AICPA. It evaluates how we protect customer data across five trust criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. The examination is performed by an independent third-party auditor.
SOC 2 Report Type: Type II
HIPAA — built around U.S. health-privacy law
HIPAA is the U.S. federal law protecting sensitive health information. We design our systems and staff training around its requirements.
- We collect the minimum information needed to show prices and generate a coupon.
- Access to sensitive data is restricted to staff who need it.
- Vendors are held to written privacy and security commitments.
Data encryption — in transit and at rest
Information you send travels over an encrypted connection (TLS/HTTPS), and sensitive stored data is encrypted at rest — scrambled so it can't be read if intercepted.
U.S. data handling — your data stays in the United States
PriceMyMeds is a U.S. company built for U.S. patients. Your information is processed and stored in the United States, under U.S. privacy law.
