Pharmacy Pearls: Helping Patients Afford Their Medications

September 30th, 2019 | Medication Access•Pharmacy Pearls

With one in four patients reporting difficulty affording prescription medications, practice staff and clinicians are often engaged with patients faced with mediation access issues related to cost and affordability. The AHP Pharmacy team has created a tool for practices to use that includes an algorithm to identify strategies to help resolve cost issues by insurance line of business, strategies to engage patients in medication cost conversations, a link to the ADA’s insulin access resource, local $4 medication lists, and more!

Contact the Pharmacy Team with your feedback on modifications or additional inclusions for future versions of this toolkit.
