Pharmacy Subscription Program and Medication Refills, Days’ Supply, and Out-of-Pocket Costs

Future research should investigate the potential cognitive and/or behavioral mechanisms by which subscription programs encourage healthy behaviors and whether the results could be replicated among other pharmacies or cohorts.
