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.
许多患者难以负担药物费用。这项试点研究调查了医生在开处方时考虑成本的意愿和障碍。在接受调查的54名医生中，几乎所有人都表示考虑成本很重要（98%），但许多人报告称缺乏处方集（65%）或共付信息（59%）。保险公司可以通过在开处方时提供便捷的药物保险信息来帮助医生。
