Description: |
|
This Research Findings report examines outpatient prescription drug purchases by a nationally representative sample of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population for the years 2011 to 2016. It examines trends in the percentages of outpatient prescriptions filled by specialty and patent status and examines measures of drug prices, discounts, and markups by drug type and insurance status. The estimates are drawn from analyses from Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component (MEPS-HC) data files linked to the Wolters Kluwer Health Master Drug Database. |
