Prescription drugs are often prescribed by doctors to address specific patient healthcare needs. While sitting in the doctor’s waiting room, the patient often will think about "Will the doctor prescribe a medication and how much will it cost me?" The cost of prescription drugs is at the top of the public policy agenda and may affect the long-term viability of Medicare and Medicaid. Commercial health plans sponsored by employers and other private payers are concerned about the impact of drug prices on their total healthcare spending. At the same time, the news is full of stories that appear to be examples of price gouging on prescription drugs such as EpiPen, Insulin, HP Acthar, Daraprim, Colchrys, Glumetza, Zegerid, MS drugs, and others. Where are federal and state policy makers headed with drug pricing policy? What can you do for your patients with respect to getting needed medications at a reasonable cost?
