To determine patients' willingness to receive and self-pay for medication therapy management (MTM) services and to examine factors that may influence willingness to pay.
A self-administered, anonymous survey was given to a convenience sample of patients at grocery store chain pharmacies in the Chicago metropolitan area.
683 patients completed the survey. The average price patients were willing to pay for MTM services was $17.57. The majority of patients felt that pharmacists should provide MTM services. No correlation was found between complexity of the medication regimen and willingness to pay. Presence of certain chronic conditions and insurance status appeared to have a correlation with willingness to pay.
Patients were interested in MTM services and recognize pharmacists as potential providers. Prices patients were willing to pay are similar to many prescription copay amounts.
确定患者对药物治疗管理 (MTM) 服务的接受意愿和自付意愿，并研究可能影响支付意愿的因素。
在芝加哥大都市区的杂货店连锁药店，向便利样本的患者发放了一份自我管理的匿名调查。
683 名患者完成了调查。患者愿意为 MTM 服务支付的平均价格为 17.57 美元。大多数患者认为药剂师应该提供 MTM 服务。药物治疗方案的复杂性与支付意愿之间没有相关性。某些慢性病的存在和保险状况似乎与支付意愿有关。
患者对 MTM 服务感兴趣，并认识到药剂师是潜在的提供者。患者愿意支付的价格与许多处方药的共付额相似。
