Affordability of medicines, prior authorization approvals pose barriers to care
A new report from health care software company CoverMyMeds looked at barriers to accessing medication and found that nearly 70% of patients report having made personal or financial sacrifices in order to afford prescriptions, while 30% say they've had to abandon a prescription due to cost. Even providers experience impediments: Physicians reportedly spend around two business days trying to get certain medications approved by insurers before being able to prescribe them, and the report found that half of these requests are still made by phone or fax machines, further slowing down the process.
