Blister Packs May Help Solve Medication Adherence Challenges and Lower Health Care Costs
On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® speaks with Julia Lucaci, PharmD, MS, the senior director of global health economics and outcomes research at Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD), an international medical technology company.
Her commentary, "Should Payers Incentivize Pharmacies to Blister-Package Chronic Medications?" argues that payers should consider offering higher reimbursement rates and/or preferred network status to pharmacies that dispense chronic medications in blister packs to enhance medication adherence and patient outcomes.
During the conversation, Lucaci explores the widespread impact of medication nonadherence, the benefits and underutilization of blister packaging in the US, and strategies that could support broader adoption to improve chronic disease management and lower overall health care costs.
