What physicians need to know about seniors and limited prescription benefits, and why.

T Chien-Wen1, R L Phillips, L A Green, G E Fryer, S M Dovey.   

Abstract

More and more often, seniors are faced with outpatient prescription benefits that have annual spending limits, and they may be forced to cut back on use of medications when they run out of benefits before the end of the year. Family physicians can play a valuable role by helping seniors choose the best value medications for their budgets and by checking whether or not seniors can afford their prescriptions.
