Prescription Drug Affordability - Patient & Caregiver Survey |
This survey is an effort led by the Patient Inclusion Council (PIC) and seeks to determine the many factors that can lead to affordability and access challenges for patients living in the United States. The survey was created by research professionals, patient research partners (PRPs), and patient organizations.
The results of the study will be shared with Prescription Drug Affordability Boards (PDABs), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and legislators in an effort to better inform drug affordability reviews and legislative efforts connected to them. By understanding patient issues and concerns, we can better create health policies that address these needs and foster better health for patients.
We hope to continue working with all stakeholders to address the high costs of healthcare in ways most beneficial to the people relying on the medication. Please share this survey with anyone you know in the United States who is prescribed a drug that is consider high cost.
