💨 Abstract

The article discusses strategies to reduce the financial burden of prescription medications, particularly for uninsured or underinsured patients. Key points include considering generic or over-the-counter alternatives, adjusting insurance plans, and leveraging accounts like HSAs or FSAs. Pharmacy consultation, switching providers, and shopping around for the best prices are also recommended. Additionally, using prescription savings cards, manufacturer discounts, and state or nonprofit assistance programs can help.
