What factors impact a patient’s cost at the pharmacy counter?

In this episode of Pharmland, co-hosts Bradley Nelson and Tom Davies dive into the complex world of the out-of-pocket cost a patient pays at the pharmacy and explore the forces that contribute to medication costs – from high-deductible health plans to formulary tiers, rebates, and PBM negotiations – and can lead to some major shock at the price tag. Listen as Bradley and Tom explain why more patients are facing tough decisions at checkout – and what can be done to help them make informed choices.
