According to a recent CoverMyMeds patient survey, medication costs are a major concern for many. In fact, 60% of patients discovered their prescription cost more than expected, leading 1 in 4 patients to abandon their medication all together. And with over 20,000 prescription medications approved for marketing in the U.S., the ability to deliver these medications to patients when they need them – and do so in an affordable manner – has become increasingly challenging.
CoverMyMeds – which is part of McKesson – has been at the forefront of breaking down barriers to medication access and affordability for patients. And while they’re best known for revolutionizing the cumbersome prior authorization process, they’ve spent more than 15 years developing and implementing a suite of tech-enabled solutions aimed at solving the most common medication access and affordability challenges patients face.
