NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- People in the United States pay the highest prices for prescription medications in the world. And sadly, due to poor medication coverage or the inability to afford health insurance, many Hispanics will not fill/refill live-saving prescriptions. That is why SuReceta, a company who specifically aims to help Spanish speakers navigate the US healthcare system by saving money on prescriptions through their bilingual price transparency app, powered by LowestMed, is participating in the launch of National Rx Cost Awareness Week.

"With over 30 years of experience caring for the Latino community, I've seen first-hand the healthcare inequality among Hispanics, and Spanish-speaking patients should not have to worry about affording medication that helps save their lives," says Dr. Joseph Mosquera, M.D., the founder of SuReceta. "National RX Cost Awareness week aims to tackle the issue of rising drug prices for the public. It's important the Hispanic community knows companies like SuReceta exist and have their best interest at heart."

Easily accessible on SuReceta.com or by downloading the mobile app on IOS or Android, SuReceta allows users to compare medicine prices at neighborhood pharmacies and provides RX coupons and savings to users at absolutely no cost. SuReceta.com is a premiere destination for Hispanic health and wellness information in Spanish and English, built to empower the Hispanic community to take a more proactive role in their healthcare.

National Rx Cost Awareness Week will take place annually, during the fourth week of January. Why Now? Because Rx prices are on the top of people's minds, due to health insurance deductibles resetting and insurance coverage shifts.

If you participate in National Rx Cost Awareness Week on social media, SuReceta asks you to include the following hashtags: #AhorroDeRX #RxCostAwareness & #SpreadTheWord
