Communication Key to Lowering Medication Costs

Communication with healthcare providers is key to finding avenues to lowering medication costs according to Dr. Bobby Mahajan with the American Lung Association…

“We advocate talking with your physician and making sure that we’re working in collaboration with one another so that we can make it easier for individuals to actually take their medications by being able to afford them.”

Web searches and apps can be helpful in finding discounts, but Dr. Mahajan says to check with your provider about switching medications…

“I’m all for making sure they look at these kinds of apps and kind of look on the internet for different options but really then I’d say, ‘Make sure you talk to your physician about these different options to make sure that they are appropriate for changing.”
