Associations of Cost Sharing on Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Burden

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.

Status:

• online Arthritis Care Research Open Rheumatology;
