Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing copayments for care can create a financial barrier for patients to access and adhere to their treatment regimen. Research has shown that higher copayments are associated with lower adherence rates. Unrestricted formularies, increased access to care, and treating a wider range of disorders are not system variables that create barriers to adherence.
