Physicians' willingness and barriers to considering cost when prescribing
Hawaii Med J.
2006 Nov.
Abstract
Many patients have difficulty affording medication. This pilot study examined physicians' willingness and barriers to considering cost when prescribing. Of 54 physicians surveyed, nearly all said considering cost was important (98%) but many reported lacking formulary (65%) or copayment information (59%). Insurers can help physicians by providing easy access to drug coverage information at the point of prescribing.
