Navigating Prescription Drug Costs

Several strategies can assist patients in managing high prescription drug costs. One notable approach is utilizing real-time prescription benefit tools, which help clinicians identify a patient’s insurance coverage and costs during the prescribing process. Copayment cards, offered by brand-name drug manufacturers, can further reduce financial burdens for privately insured patients. Additionally, patient assistance programs provided by manufacturers or non-profit organizations aim to offer medications at little to no cost, significantly easing expenses for those in need.
