CUTTING COSTS
According to one poll involving a national sample of 2,131 adults between
the ages of 50 and 80, 27 percent of those surveyed indicated that their
prescription drug costs presented them with a financial burden. Yet, nearly half
of these individuals failed to mention their concerns with their physicians. This
is unfortunate because patients should be able to discuss out-of-pocket costs
with their doctors for no other reason other than failure to take needed drugs
can lead to unnecessary negative health consequences. When patients do
discuss affordability issues with their doctors, two-thirds (67 percent) of the
survey participants reported that their doctors could recommend a cheaper
alternative. Thirty-seven percent found that their pharmacists could suggest a
less-expensive option.
Many patients assume that their doctors know the cost of the drugs they are
prescribing, but that’s not necessarily true. Doctors in clinics don’t usually
know how much the drugs cost. Pharmacists are an underused resource as
well. They are knowledgeable about what insurance covers. If the cost of a
drug is higher than expected, talk to the pharmacist about alternatives. For
more information, please call VILLAGE PHARMACY at 781-334-3133 or see us
in the Colonial Shopping Center.
HINT: Those with Medicare Part D drug coverage who have prescriptions for
multiple chronic conditions may be eligible for a free Medication Therapy
Management (MTM) program by a pharmacist or other health professional who
can review costs.
