Price transparency & out-of-pocket payments for medications: Implications of associated delivery fees in the United States
These analyses suggest that when accounting for additional services required on the day of drug receipt, the amount a patient pays to receive a medication for mCRPC can be very different from the OOP payment for the drug alone; these payments also vary by drug and health plan type. Therefore, price transparency for drug alone may not lead to reduced OOP payments for patients.
