Use of Prescription Drug Samples and Patient Assistance Programs, and the Role of Doctor–Patient Communication
2011
BACKGROUND
Cost-related underuse of medications is common among older adults, who seldom discuss medication costs with their physicians. Some older adults may use free drug samples or industry-sponsored patient assistance programs (PAP) in hopes of lowering out-of-pocket costs, although the long-term effect of these programs on drug spending is unclear.
