Mental Health Drugs High Cost Medications: Antipsychotics Under Part D
The Medicare Part D drug benefits include substantial and complex forms of cost-sharing. Evidence suggests that patients reduce their use of both necessary and unnecessary drugs in response to cost-sharing. In this study, we will examine the impact of the Medicare Part D program on beneficiaries receiving drug therapy for mental health conditions.
