Medicare coverage of targeted disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is spotty. Týka sa to ako plánov Medicare Advantage, tak aj samostatných plánov časti D. Výskumníci uviedli, že toto pokrytie pravdepodobne spôsobí, že mnohí pacienti budú chcieť. The study analyzed the availability of newer DMARDs in these plans. The findings show uneven coverage among different policyholders. Patients with RA may therefore face restrictions in access to these drugs. Výskum bol publikovaný na MedPage Today.
