Sapna Patel,?Director of Clinical Services at?Mosaic Pharmacy Service, was part of?a panel discussion with Senator Tim Kaine. The discussion focused on prescription drug costs and the need for a value-based pharmacy like?Mosaic. The cost of drugs includes more than just what we pay for them.?? ·??????Studies have shown that 2 out of 3 seniors take 5 or more meds per day, and the cost of underuse, overuse, and mis-use of prescription drugs results in $530 billion per year in avoidable medical care.?? ·??????There will be 90 million doctor visits, ED visits, and hospitalizations for adverse drug reactions among seniors in this decade.?? ·??????It takes more than copay reductions to ensure seniors get the meds they need and get off the meds they don’t need, which is where Mosaic is having a positive impact.
I’m so happy to have been part of a panel discussion with Senator Tim Kaine on prescription drug costs and how this discussion emphasizes the need for a value-based pharmacy like Mosaic Pharmacy Service and RxAnte https://lnkd.in/dEJB6eTU
