To adequately treat our patients we rely on published data from clinical trials.

We make our decisions on how to evaluate, diagnose, and treat our patients based on this valuable data. Join in on the forefront of gathering this information.

Associations of Cost Sharing on Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Burden:

Description

The association of copayments: office visits and medications, with comorbidity (RDCI) in rheumatoid arthritis patients from 10 AWIR member practices across the US, was evaluated. RA patients in the South, had higher cost sharing payments. Yet, RA patients with higher RDCI had lower copayments. A call for adjustments in cost-sharing to accommodate patients with high disease burden is needed to ensure access to care.
