Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Program: Benefits, Unintended Consequences and Impact on Health Disparities.
- Authors
Dismuke, Clara; Egede, Leonard
- Abstract
The authors discuss the aspects of Medicare Part D prescription drug program, which is implemented by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They mention a study which shows the impacts of cost sharing on patients' adherence to medications. They say that the study found that the Affordable Care Act will not influence adherence. They add that other studies have shown that Part D implementation resulted in a decline in the number of seniors lacking prescription coverage.
