NeedyMeds Forums

Advocates,

I've started a thread for "High Rates of Prescription Abandonment," an article that we have on our website. If, after you've read the summary article and perhaps the original article and you'd like to comment on the subject, please do so here. Read the summary article here: http://www.needymeds.org/Noteworthy/36.shtml

Some questions to consider: How many clients have you interacted with who have admitted they dropped off but didn't return to pick up and pay for a prescription medication due to cost? Are there certain types of prescription meds that clients say are just too expensive to fill? Have you ever suggested to your clients to ask their doctor for the most affordable prescription? What role do samples play in your clients' adherence to taking their prescribed meds? How many of your clients rely on the big box stores' $4 generic prescription plans to fill their prescriptions?

Use this forum for constructive comments and criticism of the issue.

Thanks, Vikki
