Description
Background
Chronically ill patients often experience difficulty paying for their medications and, as a result, use less than prescribed.
Objectives
The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship between patients with diabetes’ health insurance coverage and cost-related medication underuse, the association between cost-related underuse and health outcomes, and the role of comorbidity in this process.
