Time is money.

We think so too. In fact, we think time is more important than money.

Every other prescription tool measures one thing: dollars. Caducian compares therapeutically equivalent options on both — relative cost and relative time-to-fill. Because a prescription that takes days of prior authorization, callbacks, and coverage-chasing costs something no discount can give back.

That second dimension changes everything about how the tool works, how quickly it deploys, and how much it respects the clinical conversation.

Exact-price tools answer one question. The exam room asks two.

Most price-transparency tools live inside the electronic health record and try to predict an exact out-of-pocket dollar figure. When the data connections behind that figure are incomplete — and they often are — the number at the counter doesn’t match the number on the screen, and trust erodes

Caducian compares options on relative differences instead. A relative comparison doesn’t depend on predicting an exact figure correctly — it shows which therapeutically equivalent options sit lower or higher on cost, and which can be filled with less friction. And it adds the dimension exact-price tools leave out: time-to-fill. A prescription that requires prior authorization or isn’t covered costs days, not just dollars — and those days are when prescriptions get abandoned.

How Caducian compares

Our approach
Caducian 		Alternatives EHR-embedded exact-price tools
What you see
✓ Relative differences between therapeutically equivalent options — on cost and time-to-fill
– Exact dollar estimates that depend on live data connections and can differ at the pharmacy counter
Time-to-fill
✓ A first-class comparison — prior authorization, coverage status, and fill friction are visible before the patient leaves
– Rarely shown; the focus is dollars, not days
Deployment
✓ No EMR integration required — live in weeks, any clinic, any EHR (or no EHR)
– EHR-embedded; deployment runs through EHR vendors and health-system IT projects
Clinical role
✓ A reference the doctor and patient review together; the decision stays entirely with the physician
– Alternative suggestions surfaced inside the prescribing workflow
Patient data
✓ The prescriber-facing view holds no patient data
– Built on patient-specific benefit and claims data flowing through the prescribing system

The decision stays in the exam room — with your doctor.

Caducian never suggests a medication, never second-guesses a physician, and never sees your condition, diagnosis, or prognosis. It is a reference that supports the conversation between you and your doctor — it never replaces it.

Live in weeks, not quarters.

Because Caducian requires no EMR integration, a health system, employer, or university health plan can deploy it without an IT project, without an EHR vendor in the middle, and without changing how physicians document care. That speed matters most to exactly the organizations exact-price tools serve least: mid-size systems, clinics on smaller EHRs, self-insured employers, and student health plans.

Time is money. Save both.

Compare options with your doctor on relative cost and time-to-fill — before the pharmacy, not after.
