Benefit Generosity, Specialty Drug Use, and Other Health Service Use in Medicare
09/01/2014 to 04/30/2017
Jung, Jeah, Health Policy and Administration
Specialty drugs are an important challenge to health care systems due to their potentially significant benefits but high costs. This project proposes to examine how benefit generosity influences the use of specialty drugs and other health care services in an elderly population. Our study will provide information that can be used to design specialty drug benefits to ensure affordable access to needed medications while managing costs.
