David Williams talks about “benefit-based co-pays” being an increasing trend

David Williams talks about “benefit-based co-pays” being an increasing trend. “As if 3-tier drug formularies weren’t confusing enough, there is a new movement toward ‘benefit-based co-pays,’ or BBCs. Under a BBC, the patient’s co-pay is determined by the drug’s clinical benefit. The more beneficial the drug, the lower the co-pay. In certain cases, the patient can even be paid to take the medicine.”
